Sitting in the library

Daydreams
As well as I can remember from V last night...
Momma, when I grow up, and I have my own house, maybe it will only be a small mansion, I will paint all the rooms purple, the living room, my bedroom, the bathroom, the jump on air mattresses room. The ceilings in that room will be very high so that we can jump as high as we want. And I will have a ( Read more... ) -

When we got home, Vivienne and Anyssa had me get back into bed so that they could give me all the presents they made for me at school and Girl Scouts. ( Read more... ) -

There was a For Better or Worse comic on Sunday where the mom bemoaned the fact that her most productive days, the ones where she felt like she had accomplished something, left her house looking trashed. I get that. Yesterday was one of those days. Despite having 2 kids home sick, I finally made my submission tracking database for my poems and ( Read more... )
