a conversation...

"Hey, B, do you want to play Star Wars?"
"No, I'm being Fancy Nancy right now."
"You can be Princess Lea..."
"No, that's O.K."
"Well, B, there might be a droid in Star Wars named 'Fancy Nancy'.
I think she's a pink one..."
"Hmmm???"
"...and she commands all these troops and they call her 'Commander Pink'!"
"Well... O.K. I guess I can be her."

the little something keeping me going on this dreary February day
aren't our chicken's eggs just lovely???
! ! ! Heart is an Egg! ! !

heart is an egg
waiting to hatch
saved in a nest
cared at best
it is kept warm
and kept from harm
so it won't break
or even leak
time by time
month by month
it doesn't fly
for it just one
but, it will be found
by another egg
two become one
love will then spread
heart is an egg
love is a bird
heart will hatch
be as lovely as bird
kite remedy

a brother/sister thing


It's hard to imagine these two were fighting a few minutes earlier
"You're on my pillow..."
"Give me back my covers..."
"That's not nice..."
"Beeeeaaaaa!!!!!!" etc.
but suggest they sleep in seperate beds?
you'd thnk you'd threatened to cut off an arm!
so I leave them alone
then have to go check on them
because I never know if they're quiet because they've killed eachother
or have fallen asleep????

the newest obsession

some obsession can be tolerated.
others?
well... we kind of nip them in the bud!
my oldest has been wearing his jimbei for four years now
that started out cute
but it has been FOUR YEARS!!!
my daughter has been infatuated with PINK cowboy boots
that was getting a bit old
now... it's the "married dress!"don't you love the blue panties?
she has been living her days as a bride, marrying her Papa over and over
you should see how her eyes light up when he walks downstairs in his suit every night
"Papa, you look so princey!"
and they have to get married all over again...

one more quick wedding before he heads off to work
I think I can put up with this one for quite a while
maybe I should buy a few more white dresses though?

sock mission



I was picking up the house today (imagine that)
and kept stuffing misc. socks in my apron pocket
this is what I ended up with
now I'm spending the rest of the week on a sock mission
putting them back with their mates
is it really worth all this to have great socks for five people?

(those are all of the socks in my house without mates right now
maybe I should call it the singles bar? )

My Valentine 2009

N, for you
The Story of how we got here.
after our first kiss
you were thinking call me
but I was thinking marry me
at least we were both thinking kiss me again.
my head as filled with the grandeur of real love...dream, sweet talk, smile, sunshine, I HOPE
I was imagining how I would serve AND love you forever... yea dear, sure love, how nice
You were a nice girl with a lover boy living the wild life for a while
AND then... long story short, you were having my baby
Thank the Lord he knows what He is doing!
I'm sure there was no possible other life for me my love.
My true love - you were then, and are now, and will always be the ONE I LOVE!

Happy Valentines Day, I love you, JC

the only piece he didn't use in the bag was FAX ME...isn't he sweet?
