Now, my peeps here made sure that the house didn&#8217;t go unvacuumed and the kitchen was clean, the laundry was done, however, the task of actually moving things around and getting behind couches, toy baskets etc &#8211; well, that was something I just needed to jump back into for myself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">So today I determined that I had enough in me to tackle the floors &#8216;my way&#8217; and proceeded to move some things around to get to those &#8220;hard to clean&#8221; places like under the shoe basket <em>(definition: basket of shoes resulting in more predictable containment than kids&#8217; closets)<\/em>. When I pulled the basket away from the wall, I saw a piece of paper &#8211; nothing unusual in my house as our middle daughter is obsessed with all things paper (rolling, shredding, coloring, gluing &#8211; and combinations of all 4 on a regular basis). It was a small piece that had been tightly rolled, scroll-style, so I carefully uncurled it to see what little nugget of inspiration my sweet one had left for me to find beneath the shoes . . . it read simply: <strong>&#8220;HELP VEGGIES!!&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#8217;m still fairly perplexed. I mean, there are several angles I could take here. Should I be concerned that she is being stalked (ahh, I crack myself up) by veggies in her dreams? Is it a cry for help? Or is she genuinely concerned for the safety of veggies everywhere? Does she want to become a <a href=\"http:\/\/buttercups.wordpress.com\/2007\/12\/20\/quotes-14\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fruitarian<\/a>? I have a feeling only she will know &#8211; so maybe this will need to be a 2 part blog. If you care, I should have this mystery solved sometime after completing car pool today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And for those who need to know &#8211; no veggies were harmed in the making of this blog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/veggies2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-837 size-medium\" title=\"Is it \\&quot;Save us!!\\&quot; or \\&quot;Take me to your leader!\\&quot;??\" src=\"https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/veggies2-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/veggies2-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/veggies2-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/veggies2-1-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/veggies2-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So as many of you know, this summer has brought some interesting health challenges for me.&nbsp; As a result, there were many things I put on the back burner &#8211; cleaning my floors regularly was&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=836"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1523,"href":"https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836\/revisions\/1523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottnkelly.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
