Cinderella Sunday.

It is the best, most beautiful day of the spring so far and I've had a 'Cinderella Sunday'.  Laundry, make a meal, dishes, more laundry, more meals, more laundry, dishes AGAIN!  Clean the car, clean the closet, pack up winter clothes, change a diaper, change another diaper, another meal!  Whaaattttt?  WHY are you SO hungry?  Two lunches is not the norm!  Productive, but I'm still waiting for my turn to go to the ball.  Trouble is I'm too tired to go to the ball, and it isn't even bedtime yet.  Do you ever have Cinderella days that feel like all you do is clean, feed, and repeat?  I might ask my children to call me Cinderella instead of Mom.  At least I'll feel princess-like as I clean, feed, and repeat.

Friday Five.

Just a reminder....five syllables, words or sentences that sum up the week.

Cough. Cold. Sleepless nights.

Kids Say and Do the Darnedest Things.

Sophie asked me tonight what allergies I have, and I told her cats and some plants.  She thought about it for a minute and then said, "So when you stare at a cat for a long time your eyes get itchy and then you start to cry."  I couldn't help but laugh out loud before explaining that staring at the cat didn't make my eyes itchy and runny.  Good logic though!
