Some adorable mistakes

Not many children came to the CDC today, which was good. I’m glad most families decided to stay home. Most of our staff stayed home, too, and I stayed with my children until the end of the day. Around 5, I caved and turned on the tv, firing up an episode of Blue’s Clues and letting the little girls ‘paint’ my hair with dry paintbrushes. (Purple with pink stripes, if you must know.)

One of the girls looked at the letter Steve had received and said, “Dat’s him’s iPad.” She then returned her attention to my hair striping and inquired, “Did you get your ears pinched?” I said I did, but that I don’t wear earrings anymore.

Back to the hair striping, child.

Decimated? Alphamated?

Until very recently, there was a short quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson that greeted us as we went up to bed:

Finish each day and be done with it. Tomorrow is a new day, begin it well.

It battled bravely, but ended up like all quotes do, with letters strewn bloody on the carpet.

Oh the carnage!

But the quote had the last laugh. It turns out that the actual quote is more like this:

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

A box of fun

Yes, I tore right into them.
Dnag it, Christina and Paul, you already got us those awesome tickets to see the comedian, and then you also have to go and send a box of wonderfulness. (We still have Christmas presents we haven’t sent yet.) I laughed almost as hard as Karla’s stamps when I saw the book “Tai Chi in a Chair”. Hilarious!!! (I’m actually reading it!)

There were many other wonderful things, but I was very excited to see a vinyl quote! I’ve admired these on many a window shopping trip, but didn’t buy them (due to cheapness). Now – I had one right here! “If music be the food of Love, play on.” A beautiful quote, but the right spot for it would have been by the piano where all the music stuff is, and that space is currently taken.

I went with the next logical spot.

I wish I had cleaned for this photo.

I have since cleaned up the fridge and straightened up the counter, but I can’t take a picture of it. Why? That’s a post for another day……
