not dead yet

i've decided that if my blog were a houseplant, it would be dead. (i couldn't find a picture of a dead houseplant, but this plant on the left is showing the symptons of insufficient light due to its pale color and spindly growth.) while i don't think there is much hope for change in my feast/famine approach to blogging, maybe that little information will help save a houseplant somewhere (since i tend to kill houseplants.)

I do not own a single houseplant. I kill them all!

I've thought about trying the feast/famine approach to blogging. My brain can't function that way. If I think of something, I have to put it on the blog right away. Otherwise, the thought could be very well gone forever.

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
