  • Today...

    me:  "There!  I'm done grading everything!"

    Eric:  "I find it funny that because it's a 3 day weekend, we both decided for once to get all our grading out of the way, to enjoy the weekend."

    me:  "I don't know if it's so much about the weekend, as much that I want to get it all done, since it's the end of the world."

    me:  "!!!!! School year!!!!!  It better NOT be the end of the world now that summer is almost here!!"

  • Tomorrow is The Big Day.

    We are biking tomorrow and Sunday to ride in the MS150.  That's 150 miles or so.... 86 tomorrow.  69 or something Sunday.  Anyway, I've been crazy nervous for weeks.

    Tonight:

    Em: Mom, can you promise me something?

    me:  I don't know.  I can try.  What?

    Em: Will you promise not to die this weekend?

    me:  Uh... I'll try.  I think we are pretty safe, though.  I don't know that anyone's died during the MS150 before.

    Em:  Well, don't be the first, cause then you'll be a real loser.

    me:   Thanks for the encouragement.  And, the blog...

     

    Wish us luck & say some prayers for us this weekend!

  • Cute conversation I overheard between a mom and her 3 yr. old daughter:

    Girl:  "What's that?"

    mom: "It's a microscope.  It magnifies small things so you can see them, like germs."

    Girl:  "WOW!  My WHOLE LIFE I've wanted to get to see germs!!!!"

    Just cute to hear from a 3 yr. old.

  • Yesterday, I gave myself the 'Parent Fail' award, because our day started way too early with me yelling at my littlest and making her cry.

    I don't yell at her often, and feel horrible when it happens.  Before the morning was up, I ended up apologizing to both of my girls for my behavior.

    My littlest's response:  "That's ok.  You're tired.  I'm tired.  That's bound to cause some drama."

    And... this is when I realize my kids are already becoming wiser than I will ever be.

  • El:  Mom, you know how you've always said a scab is like God's band-aid?

    me:  Yeah?

    El:  Well, that doesn't really work.  'cuz people like to look under band-aids, too.

    me:  Well... yeah.  Ok.  Thanks for ruining my perfectly good analogy....
