Oh I get it

So it's 8:00 a magical time of night for this mom. It is time for bed!! Alli my usually very responsible first born child says, "Mom I forgot I have a math test tomorrow and I'm not sure how to do some of these fractions." So after about 20 minutes of working on subtracting, adding, reducing, simplifying and mutiplying fractions (which I found I was a little rusty at). She still seems confused. So now it is close to 8:30 and I am praying my daughter has some type of revelation so I can watch the rest of Amazing race. Just as I was feeling she would never catch on she looks at me and says,"Oh I get it....you just have to think." Hummmmm Yes that is the secret!!!

All out of socks

Socks... ode to your mysterious ways of disappearing. Especially until just after I have thrown out your match. You reappear solo only to taunt me. The way you warm my feet in the winter almost balances the long nights I spend finding your matches and balling you up....
OK enough of that.
Socks are a struggle to find around here. It isn't that we don't have 100's, it's just such a chore to fold them I find myself putting it off until we are really out. So this morning Erin says Mom I don't have any socks. So I say "I just folded you like 5-6 pair of socks a couple days ago. Where are they all? She says, "Mom it's your fault. You keep making me take showers and then I have to change them." Go figure........
So it was those pesky 3-4 showers a week that used up all the socks.......hmmm that must be it.
