sick day...


After Kate left for school I found this checklist that she made for the morning-

get up
eat Cherrios/raspberries
Sophie's note 
(a note to let Sophie know which of her stuffed animals she could play with while she was gone to school)
shoes
make lunch
bow bun :)
coat
:)
(smiley faces were written in all though her's were much cuter)
There is nothing quite like a list to get your head in the game! 


Sophie was home sick with a determined cold-
She and I finished the last pages of the novel
BECAUSE OF MR TERUPT
She listened attentively while a read the last pages through tears and sobs (what a great book).
She loved it so much that she grabbed the second in the series to read while she lay in bed with a kleenex box and a trash can close by.

then by all means...


"If you hear a voice with you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced." -Vincent VanGogh

I am 44 years old today.
Sometimes we believe that what is going on today---is what is possible.
Not this year...
Turning 44 I choose to seek out dreams...
dreams of not only what I want to do but more importantly
who I want to BE.
It will be the best year yet.
