"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."

In the Convenience Store...

While buying Frozen Yogurt at the local Mav, M remarked:

"Mama, what that smell?"

Yes, convenience stores definitely have a distinct smell.

*****

I've got way too many things started, and not enough finished.

I started packing the basement....
And accidentally sold the bookcase....
I Started on the books....
And accidentally sold the bed....
I started painting M's new bed....
4 coats later, I decided to randomly put it in her room, with the crib, with E and with all the other stuff that already made that room too crowded.

Needless to say, my house is a disaster.

But I did vacuum today.

For entirely OCD reasons that have to do with my mother, my grandmother, and my Aunt Penny.

Those voices in my head!

Which project should I finish tomorrow?

Oh, how I HATE moving!!! I wish that I could come "play" with the kids while YOU did all that hard work! At least that could make it a little easier on you.
Did you REALLY sell the bed and bookcase by "accident?!?!"
