Emma came home from school today and handed me a big pile of lamination that needed to be cut out. I enjoy being able to help the teacher with stuff that will allow her to be with the students more and I've told her teacher that and asked her to send stuff home as often as she had it.
After she handed it to me Emma said, "Miss Yeates was going to cut it out all by herself, but I told her that you would do it. I told her that she's really busy and you do nothing!"
Man....this nothingness is sure keeping me busy!

Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time there was a 17-year-old girl who wanted to be the next American Idol, but in 1987 there was no such thing. So the girl accepted a voice scholarship to go and study music education at Southern Methodist University. She spent 4 years there and somewhere in the middle of those four years, she changed her major to public relations....something she thought that she'd be able use more readily than the music education degree she started with. The girl always knew that she REALLY wanted to be a mother....a mother like her mother was, who was home before and after school....a mother who could help in the classroom or stay home easily on days when her little ones didn't feel good....a mother who could drive carpool and help with homework and have snacks waiting when her children walked in the door.
The girl became a wife just a month after she graduated from SMU and got a job using that PR degree. She and her husband became DINKs, built a house and did the DINK traveling that everyone expected them to do. And then the wife had exciting news for her husband and before long she became a mother. The couple was no longer a DINK but they were a happy, little family. And the happy, LITTLE family quickly became a happy, BIG family. And before the Mother knew it, the happy, BIG family became a BUSY, happy BIG family. The Mother's workplace quickly changed from their happy home to her Honda Odyssey. The amount of time spent in the car greatly increased and the Mother wondered why she didn't major in automotive transportation - a major that she would have really used!
