grateful friday...

this book just waiting to be cracked open lent
to me by my sweetly sarcastic sister-in-law...

the fun of getting the kids ready for school
this morning in anticipation of crazy-hair-&-PJ day...

only one meltdown by "two" whose
alias is usually "sir-screams-alot"...

8 rows done on the yellow blanket...

a warm house, diet coke, pizza for supper...

the promise of friday...

poetry thursday...

RUNNY'S BIG ROMANCE

Runny had a firlgriend,
Her name was Sunny Bue.
He called her nots of licknames,
Like "Kitchy-Itchy-Koo."
Sometimes he called her "Boney-Hun,"
And sometimes "Dovey Lear,"
But he only called her "Peety-Swie"
When no one else could hear.

Shel Silverstein

teeheehee,
you do remember that
i work with
children
alllllll the day long right?
heh.
there's a reason for that.
:)

inspire me thursday...

well...
since i sort-of-half-heartedly-kind-of
(heh)
chickened out of posting last thursdays
inspire me thursday
(to my credit, i did one...)
heh...
heres todays
which is a self portrait
and i don't have a scanner
so its a photo of drawn version of a self portait...
hows that for keeping it simple?
teehee.

(and i have just noticed
you can also kind of see
self-portrait-stab-#-1
through it...heehee)

happy thursday :)

back with a vengeance....

well..not really a vengeance actually...
more like a renewed sense of life and energy
i feel so much better,
thanks for everyone's kind words...

my own computer is not feeling so well
so i can't download the pictures
that i wanted to show of the
awesome miniswap package that i received
from sophia and her mom at flitknits....
the kids loved it, my boy, "six" took his
to school to show his beloved teacher...
as soon as OGG figures out what is ailing my
poor little pieced together computer,
i will post pictures because words will not suffice.

took the day off yesterday and was without
any children, including my own, for most of the day...
sigh...
what a tease.
a tiny glimpse into what sanity looks like...

inspiring this list of what has been making me happy:
-this melt-me-movie that i adored and am so glad i now own
and can watch whenever i want!
-this book which only took me an hour or so to read but
goodgawdalmighty i loved it...i want to read about mythology,
i want to reread the book, i want to reread all things atwood.
-reading that book inspired a phonecall to my sister in law
who lent me the book and who has the exact same book taste
that i do which led to a fulfilling conversation
-my current favorite tv addiction...i just can't help it....
give it a chance, you might find it as funny as i do...

i'm just so happy to not have a migraine-ish head...
can you tell?
:)

scheduled interruption in programming...

sorry.

due to the virulent environment,
your host cannot be here today
to entertain in any possible way.

instead she will be encased in blankets,
shivering and yet, miraculously, sweating...
holding her head together
to prevent it from self-imploding
due to excess sinus pressure
and
occassionally vomiting...

thank you for your patience
and we hope to be back to regularly scheduled
programming very soon.
