This is the reason I do what I do.

Two reasons, actually. One was my conversation with Hannah this morning.

Me: Hannah, you may not go to your Kindergarten picnic today because you did not pick up the blocks as I asked you to.

Hannah: NOoooooooo! You can't say that! You....mediator!!!!

OMG, I couldn't believe that, it was so funny!

The other reason is the almost-three-year-old napping currently in her room. I look over, and she is lying amidst the toys, books, clothes, etc., in her room using the half-empty package of diapers as a pillow and Conrad's shirt as a blanket.

Today has been a totally awesome day. You know why? Because it's not perfect. Because I am with my kids. Because Hannah is sassy and disobedient and makes up words she thinks will hurt but are in actuality hilariously misused, and Emme refuses to take a conventional nap and would rather cuddle with diapers and her daddy's shirt. I love it!!!

I don't know how I'm going to be able to go back to work tomorrow :-(

My countdown is: 2 full days and 5 half days to go.......
