Top Five Reasons I Love Preschool.

Reason #5:  It gives me time to read blogs and drink coffee without interruption.

Reason #4:  It allows an opportunity to read today's emails from Overzealous Student #1 and Overzealous Student #2.  (Note:  If you happen to be an online student and you want to develop a good relationship with your instructor, please don't send five emails regarding the Final Exam during Week Two of the course.  I promise that this is a bad idea.)

Reason #3:  Preschool allows a person the chance to paint things that don't really need to be painted.

Reason #2:  It is really, really nice to have two hours a day during which I'm not asked to make any meal/snack and I'm not required to make sure that this meal/snack is actually eaten by a child rather than a sneaky dog.

Reason #1:  I love preschool because my kiddo has fun there and (almost) always comes home in a happy mood.

I miss my time alone.
I miss our routine.
I miss having two hours a day when I don't have to search the house for a Star Wars figure.

Hey Snow!

Why don't you go pick on the people in Iowa for awhile...

The crabbiness continues, but I've come up with some music to go with it:

Verse #1:
If you're crabby and you know it, paint a wall.
If your're crabby and you know it, paint a wall.
If you're crabby and you know it, then the wall will surely show it.
If you're crabby and you know it, paint a wall.

Verse #2:
If you're crabby and you know it, take a nap...

I'll let you know if I discover any other cures!

Time to get to work...

Everyday Pretty.

I was loading my dishwasher today when I was suddenly struck by how pretty these plates and bowls looked all lined up in a row.  Fortunately for you, I washed them before snapping a picture! 

Now, if I could just remember to take a picture while the sun was still up, perhaps my photography would improve...

This Little Piggy went to Market...

...the flea market, that is.
And I got a treat:

My little gallery is growing...
I think my little bird friend likes it, too.

Table Top Trouble Tour.

This is what my world looks like every time I am in the midst of preparing for a new semester:

Kitchen table--left side

Kitchen table-right side



Coffee table



Side table





Even the ironing board is covered!



The items may be different, but the mess is always the same! 
I can actually say (for once) that I am looking forward to tidying up! : )
