your fault

when things get busy, i stop writing. i think of all sorts of things that would probably entertain you, but by the time i slow down enough to write them i have forgotten what i was going to say in the first place.
second place... (if you havent seen Into the Woods, SEE IT. read the lyrics to this song here and you will be glad you did -- at least i will be glad.)
today is dr. seuss's birthday.
we were almost late to school because of this important fact. sissy was making dr. seuss a card. i didnt have the heart to tell her he was dead. i just told her to put her shoes on... in the car... because we were late... and what in the world had she been doing all morning anyway?!?!
it wasnt pretty. the conversation, that is -- i never saw the card, but she said it was left in the floor of the living room because i made her hurry. ugh. it was all my fault.

last night we (the kids and i) were watching an undisclosed music competition on tv. some not-so-good singer was on and i said "i dont like this guy". my smallest child thought i said "i dont like the sky" to which he exclaimed "GOD MADE THE SKY AND YOU DONT EVEN LIKE IT???!!!" i laughed. i thought about telling him that i said 'this guy', but i figured the response could be exactly the same. i should work on liking the things God made. i will start with the sky and then move on to endangered species. i choose not to start with people, for obvious reasons.

you are now completely up to date on the goings on in my life.
oh-and evidently, i am allergic to the meds i have been taking for strep. i will stop taking the meds against medical advice. vanity, my friends, is near the very top of my list of priorities.
