"It doesn't care!!!"

"It doesn't care!" This is what my almost 7 year old daughter has been saying lately when "She doesn't care" or likewise "It doesn't matter" to her. She doesn't even catch herself saying it really. I will ask her, "who is IT?" and she looks at me like I'M crazy. So it is starting to catch on a little.

On the subject of funny things kids say. My 4 year old daughter said, "Did I see what I saw?" She is in that stage where her sounds and words frequently get mixed up, so there are a lot of funny things that come out of her mouth. My recent favorite was when her dad kept teasing her about something and she was obviously not finding it funny anymore and I said, "Hun, you are . . ." and before I could get out what I was going to say, she filled in the blank with ". . . a jerk!" I don't think she has heard that a lot and doesn't really know what it means, but it fit and it was funny!!!!

Here are a couple more I can think of: I will keep adding when I can remember more.
Cute little cutie! (K) about her baby sister
Handydowns (K) hand-me-downs
bo-ing = boring
anoise-ing = annoying
Mom, say where Lilly is (when hiding)
People Beauty and the Beast (not the cartoon movie)
catty=kitty
click clock=tick tock

Once there was a snowman . . .




So I have been trying to get a bunch of unfinished projects done, so I can get to the real important, most needed project, huge, yucky project ever - MY OFFICE. It has fallen completely into an abyss of shambles. Not only is my office crazy but the "storage room" that shares a room with my office is also falling apart. I just need some undisturbed "time" to get in there and do something and I keep putting it off. So, because I am a procrastinator in every definition of the word I am doing other much needed projects first to make sure I don't have any more excuses. For example, when I have to pack for a trip, my bathrooms NEED to be cleaned, the floor MUST be mopped and the garage NEEDS to be rearranged. Maybe I should just plan a trip . . . actually this is probably why I am taking time to blog, I have stuff to do.

So this is one of the projects. A snowman kit that I bought about 3 years ago. It is unfinished wood. You paint it and glue in the dowels and you are done. 3 years? Well, I had 3 sets of the snowman and 2 sets of a jack-o-lantern kit and kids that every time you get anything remotely different or fun out want to "help." And that is nice, when you have the time. Anyway, I got these done.

Now I have to go to the post office. Oh, it looks like the office might get done after all. (I HATE GOING TO THE POST OFFICE!)
