- I found an AWESOME sale on kids clothes!!! Jakey's b-day is coming up in July, so I stocked that kid up on clothes for kindergarten! 6 or 7 Pairs of pants for $2 - $3, two pants + shirt outfits for $4.50, and one WAY COOL outfit with a Spirderman t-shirt, button-up casual shirt with spidey design to go over the t-shirt, and way cool pair of jeans! The last outfit is for his first day of school!
- I had a bad grief weekend... someone I know lost her dad about 13 years ago, and while shopping this weekend, decided to pick up and read aloud a section of "Why ever girl needs a Dad"... i asked her if she could stop, jokingly saying "c'mon, have some compasion..." she seemed to think it was ridiculous that the book would upset me... she lost her dad too, and is raising a daughter w/o a dad. I apologized later in case I sounded grumpy when I asked her to stop... and she still seemed totally... oblivious? compassionless? Am I just being oversensitive? Or should friends pretend to care about (or at least respect?) the fact that he's been gone less than 4 months?
- Finally got to spend a day at Kim's again! We went to IHOP, (pancakes smothered in maple syrup... mmmm...), shopping (she is NOT the un-compassionate friend mentioned above), church, shopping, home, laundromat, home. LOL
- Jakey can count to 12!!!! We thought he could only count to about 7 or so, until we got out the Sorry game, and I told him he had to count if he wanted to play... he got a 12-card, and counted out his little moves... all the way up to 12!!! I was SO STINKIN' PROUD OF HIM!!! He also knows all his shapes except rectangles, diamonds, and ovals. I drew him some rectangles and ovals, and made faces on them. :o) He specifically requested angry eyebrows and a smiley face... made for a very sadistic looking Mr. Rectangle! *giggle*
- I started making a pair of baby booties, and bought supplies for some new things to make... I'll show & tell more soon!!!
(Just so you know, the Monday Stupendous Quiz WILL be posted soon!!)

A silver sky
ripe for the mirror.
you can not see yourself in this mirror
you can only see others
moreover, you can only see what others choose to expose.
Their houses, their boats, their sea-doos.
Birds skimming low over the water could
like as not
see them selves if they were to look down
as they skim low over the water
but they never do.
Rather they allow their reflections to chase them
quick and sharp over the still, glistening waters
while the bird's mind remains ever fixed on
food, or other birds, or escaping those damn noisy humans.
A dense forest impenetrable as a gaze.
I LOVE a good garage sale bargain! I found a Little Tykes sand turtle and frog this past weekend for $7. They sell new for like $35 EACH! Gotta love garage sales. They keep my kids clothed for sure.
