Overheard in school today.
Harper: "Mom you're knitting?! Do you want me teach you how to cast on."
Me: "Yes, please"
Harper : "Don't forget this is practice"
Ryland : "Hey we all have penmanship, and writing. And everyone has Math."
Coulson: "I bet everyone who is lucky enough to go to school has math."
Harper : "People who home school are lucky."
Coulson : "Yeah they're the luckiest."
Harper : "Mom, 4/5 of my cards for the card exchange have water in them and
2/5 have land in them."
Me: "Umm honey....you might need to do the math on that one again."
Harper: "HUH?.......4 have water, 2 have land"
Me: "You only have five cards"
Harper: "One card has both."
Smirk and a walk away..... Ah yes the beginnings of a teenage mind.
For a day that began with me in a low energy, lethargy mood, wishing I could just pull up and go get haircuts for everyone and spend the day buying useless stuff at goodwill. The day had a storybook hour and half. It was only a short moment but it helped me tremendously. I am in the Feb. doll drums, I need a spring garden and a total house re-do. Perhaps an eclipse. Maybe if the laundry was done? Nah......I just need to hang on to those clips of joy until March.
Okay May.

grab on and hold tight! I'm trying to do the same. If only it wasn't below zero outside!
