Things continue on a a whirlwind clip...9 year olds could be the next "renewable" energy source-if we could only harness it. "Monsters Inc." may have been on to something.
Last night, after spending a morning at the KASPER program learning about bees, then going to watch the Vanguard bugle/drum corp., then spending the early afternoon doing art with 80 year-olds (some of whom have been professinal artists and totally enthralled Little C)...Little C thought my idea of planting flower pots to decorate our porch was a swell idea.
So we went to the store, and roamed around for at least an hour choosing plants and pots. Then we came home and Little C (suddenly distracted by the neighbor boys, and taking on a whole new persona that involved a lot of eye rolls and sarcasm directed at mom) watched as I planted, watered and cleaned up the mess...
Then I cooked dinner and ran her a bath. We were lights out at 10:00pm...thank goodness...
$30.00 in flowers later (and a beautiful looking porch to be sure) I am now unable to buy her any more produce until Monday. My grape addict actualy has to loan me $10.00 to keep my account from being overdrawn-after the gas and food from picking her up, and electric bill, and quarterly car insurance, and phone bll, and grocery shopping, and student loan, and child support I pay even when I have her with me...BUT...
Definately worth it!
She gonna wear me out!
