I think you've inspired me to get organized today.<BR/><BR/>I'm in the best of both worlds right now. I have a teenager who thinks our neighbor has hung the moon because he's taking him surfing later, but twin toddlers who think I've hung the moon because I've been able to flush their pee away 6 times already this morning.

How fun she might follow in your crafty and talented footsteps!<BR/>I had a parent of one of my students, from a few years ago, tell me the most charming thing about her daughter. We had sent the children holiday cards at home during the break. I guess this little preschooler slept with my card under her pillow every night and even told her mom that I was her "real" mommy! ;)Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464088874054923635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909051016007644645.post-56091672809065841362009-01-14T22:47:00.000-05:002009-01-14T22:47:00.000-05:00Oops sorry Dana!

My first to go off to school which I'm sure will bring all new challenges for both of us. Selfishly I feel sad mostly for myself but again excited for him as he is yearning for learning. Such a old man at Five. You new craft area look outstanding too! Love it.
