a day in the life






I had an orchestra concert this past weekend and the kids came to cheer me on. We have all been sick with a cold and I have been basically debilitated this past week.  At the concert I had to stop in the middle of a 20 minute song to cough, and grab a drink of water and a cough drop. My house has been crazy with laundry spewed everywhere, crayons on the floor, and the kids are living off PBJs and juice boxes- oh well.


Elsie cracks me up. We go swimming every week after I teach a spin class at the YMCA and every time I'd say "good job!" while she was swimming she'd respond "The mermaids showed me how"- as if everything she knows about swimming she learned from The Little Mermaid.

When we went to the park the other day she'd say "Look Mom! Am I falling?!" and then she'd answer her own question, "Nope, I'm not falling. I'm not falling I'm doing just right!" as a way to point out just how tricky she is.  When she goes to the park she likes to crawl through tunnels which she calls her "dark tave," where dragons live.
