A Quiet Day InThe Neighborhood

The sign on her forehead reads:
"Yes, I am a crazy person"
She was a little loopy today.

Children and narcotics are entertaining.  Chloe spent the day talking about kittens, not strange, but she was having a hard time walking and did have unusually large eyes.  She is still having some pain and will likely stay home tomorrow morning to continue to recover.  I was so tired that after taking Brett to school this morning I returned home and fell asleep for two more hours.  Chloe, Scratchy and Mommy had a cozy sleep.

The day flew by and Brett jumped in the car and announced he got in trouble today.  He moved his clip down for laughing in class.  As much as I don't like him getting in trouble I was sort of hoping for something more creative than laughing in class.  He prayed that tomorrow would be a good day and he would move his clip UP.  Clarification:  clip down=bad & clip up=good.

my minstrel costume design with wildly
bright colors and glitter paint, too.
If glitter paint existed then they would've
used it!!

The chickens laid twelve eggs, the pony and the goats are all fine and today was a quiet and uneventful day.  So boring in fact, I had to start a project.  Chloe's 4th grade class learns about the Medieval Feast and such and the moms do lots and lots of projects and cooking and organizing to create an amazing Medieval experience for the kids.  Chloe was chosen to be a minstrel and when she got in the call and announced, "MOM I'M A MINSTREL!" I thought she said, "MOM, I'M MENSTRUAL!"  Boy was I relieved.  Today I began the painting and design of her costume and as usual I did not design it before I started painting it so it will likely be a fabulous and not perfect creation.  The cart before the horse. I still haven't decided how the pattern is going to merge.  I really wish my good friend from college, Suzanne, lived closer.  She would teach me how paint the perfect pattern.  Likely a pattern exists on the internet, but that seemed too time consuming!

I am thankful for uneventful days filled with creativity and paint. (Day 59).  Goodnight Friends!  Oh and a special Happy Birthday to two very sweet people...Dawn and Grumpy.
