sibling love and support and celebration is a happiness that surpasses most anything else. it never ceases to bring laughter and swelling pride. in soccer…scoring 3 goals in a game is called a “hat trick.” it is not easily done…and is a right of passage, of sorts, for a soccer player. my girl […]
i finally lit a candle, turned some music on, and sat down to write. i miss writing. i need writing. it’s how i re-charge…see the little things…find the magic. it’s how i learn and grow. it’s how i want my kids to see their mother. it’s how i sort things out. it’s how i see […]
i figure this is as good a way as any to put off cleaning the kitchen. maybe i’ll type another tomorrow to put off that laundry that needs to be done. annslee had her very first trip to the zoo on monday. it was a preschool field trip of sorts. i worked it out so […]
there have been more teary moments lately than usual. i’m not sure of the problem. or even if there is one. sometimes…letting loose of emotion is a good thing. tearing up over these moments: my mom always sets out a bunny village for the easter season. and i loooooved this thing. and they do too.

it’s co-op day. that means that i get to spend from 12:00-4:00 teaching three 3 year olds (one of them being my spunky flicka)…one 4 year old…and two 5 year olds. we are in the middle of a space unit. because i say so. i am currently wasting time until chad can find a new […]
