A Lighter Note
Have you ever had one of those days when you were feeling really overwhelmed, and then (as if by magic) something happened that made you just shake your head and laugh?
Just yesterday I found my three-year old daughter sitting on the floor making several small objects "talk" and act out a story she had created.
She was so animated, using different voices for each character, that I just had to bend down for a closer look.
One of the characters was a used test strip.
"Honey, what are you doing with that?" I asked, slightly taken aback.
"Mommy, this is the little boy," she said, holding out the test strip in her cupped right hand, "He's lost and he's trying to find his mommy."
"But honey, that's not really a little boy."
Some eye rolling, and then "I know, this is Joseph's test strip for his blood sugar. But he's all done with it. So I'm using it now."
Thus, in the interest of family harmony (both real and imagined), the "little boy" was allowed to reunite with his "mommy" (a piece of blue chalk).
And I'm still laughing, and shaking my head.

Remember and treasure these times, Sandra! Kids grow up so fast. Your little girl has quite a creative imagination...usually a sign of intelligence!
Have a great weekend!
Kids have a knack for being funny when not trying. Who needs dolls when you have a used test strip?
Love. It.
That is priceless. Quite the imagination she's got!
LOL LOL Sandra!
