4:30 AM.
A: Mom, I need to snuggle with you.
Me: Ok. You'll need to take off your wings and crown.
Somehow, it was necessary for her to change into a fairy costume, complete with tights, for the long trek to our bedroom.

Chewing and chewing and chewing
Week 4 of 10 of this quarter teaching...
Week 4 of 8 of the LifeKeys class at church (that I volunteered to help with a looong time ago, not knowing when it was actually happening)
Week ? of ? of a nice juicy project
Preschool, dance, and gymnastics (oh, my!)
I've taken a big ol' bite.
Right now, Monday night Ainslie goes to dance, I go to teach.
Tuesday, we have preschool, then Ainslie has lunch with Grampa while I teach, then I go back to teach at night.
Wednesday morning we have gymnastics.
Thursday is a repeat of Tuesday, except that we have LifeKeys and Ainslie plays with her beloved Ms. L in the church nursery--then we race home to try to catch The Office. :-)
Meanwhile, I'm working (training) more than usual, and next week it's going to start being a lot more.
It's good. I like being busy. I like that Christmas and the dining room furniture are covered.
It's too much. I hate grading 80 papers a week. Craig is pitching in, but the house is...not up to anybody's standards.
It's only 10 weeks (at least for teaching these three sections), and it's nearly half over. A person can do anything for 6 weeks, right?

Go Ask Alice
My mom finished Ainslie's Alice in Wonderland costume, and it is adorable.
When Ainslie tried it on, she gasped at her reflection and said, "oh, Mommy, I am Alice!"
But--
Every time--every time--she talks to someone about it, you know, random people in public who ask her what she's dressing up as for Halloween, it goes something like this:
Random Person: What are you going to be for Halloween?
A: Alice in Wonderland
RP: Oh, that will be so pretty. Did your mommy make your costume?
A: Oh, no! Mommy can't sew! Not at all. Grammie made it.
I've accepted the fact that activities that require precision and attention to detail are not in the cards for me, but really, does she have to announce it like that?
