very earnest five year old:
"are you comin' over to the other side now
cause i'm wonewy"

heh...
(has a little troubles with L sounds)
but that makes it all the more heartbreaking...
going to the "other side"
:)

why today has been a good day...

1. only one of the 5-6 children i look after came today and he is by far one of the easiest
look after AND he doesn't come until 11 am which means...i not only got to go back to
bed for an HOUR after my daughter went to school..but when i got up, i could have a
shower in peace and quiet and not rush...
2. while i was having said nap, my boy was as good as gold and came and laid beside me
and patted my head until i fell asleep and then he stayed there and played in my room
showing me that even though he is five, he still likes to be with me enough that he will
stay and play even though i am asleep and not much company
3. my brother has gone to our new house to continue ripping and tearing things down for
us since we are both working...he didn't have to...he just does that stuff :)
4. there are 3 bottles of diet coke in the fridge
5. i can use as much heat as i want, cause we're leaving anyway in 2 months:)
6. i found some blogs that made me laugh out loud...especially adventures with mr k...

wow.

i have spent mothers day
ripping beaverboard (as of yesterday i did not know what that was
but i know have had an up close and personal relationship with it)
off the walls
picking up beaverboard off the floor
breaking beaverboard into small pieces so it will fit in the garbage bags
sweeping beaverboard off the stairs
and filling (15 heavyduty large garbage bags) with BEAVERBOARD!!!!!
and i see no end to it
but you know what?
thats ok
cause its beaver board that i OWN
and i'm ok with that
heehee
seriously tho, the construction (well, technically, its destruction)
is coming along great...
pulled the panel and beaverboard off the walls to reveal no insulation at all
and the house is STILL warmer than the one we are currently renting
and pulled up layers of carpet and tile and linoleum to reveal
HARDWOOD floors...hurray...
oh
and broke the rad and made it rain in the living room
:)
heehee
so all in all
that was my day
happy mothers day
