"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Funny Items

******

Says (yells) E from the far-back seat of the van: Mom, when I'm a grown-up will you drive me to the mall?

Mom: Sure.

E: Because I'll need to buy a wedding dress then, and I won't know where to find one.

(This is funniest when you understand there was no context. This statement came completely out of the blue)

******

Things I am happy about:

***A full week of sunny weather. We left the backdoor open on Monday. Oh the happiness. Maybe I am not such a pox on humanity. Maybe January just really is extraordinarily depressing.

***And that I was pregnant when the following comment was made:

5-year old Girl in Ballet Class: Miss. Jamie, it looks like you have another baby growing in your tummy.

That last comment made me laugh right out loud, or lol, however you like to read it. Pretty cute about Ellie's wedding dress. I hope Russ never says that.

Ellie is going to have a lot of those questions for you, totally random and totally out of the blue!

and LMAO at the observant dance student!
