The Joys of Children

Wednesday is my longest day but I guess all-in-all it's really not too much worse than any other day. History was fine. Math was incomprehensible. Education was dandy. Work was thrilling. At work five year old Kaitlin comes up to me and says, "Guess what Miss Elsa, my grandpa can take out his teeth." I love my job if for no other reason than the laughs it brings. Last week Collin was wiping out the bottom of a dirty toy bin (voluntarily) and states, "This looks like snuff. It's gross. I wish my dad would stop chewing snuff 'cause when he does and he talks to me I can see it and it's so gross." Another day last week I got an invitation from Mellanie to come over her house and watch "Baby Story" and see her sister born from when her whole family was on TV. A co-worker, Pam, confirmed that indeed her family was on television in a show called "Baby Story" and that that was closer to any family than she ever wanted to get and we laughed. I really do love babies... but watching them born into this world, ewww, not my kind of entertainment. Ok, here's one more conversation from today that Pam told me about. She said she walked up to the table serving drinks and hears Jared say to Paige, "I don't want to live with you, but I will sleep over. A sleep over would be fun." When Pam told his dad about that one his said he was hoping he wouldn't have to deal with that for at least another 12 years, and laughed. Work is good. But now Dana is leaving and they want me to work five days a week. I guess that's cool, right? Anyway, that was a long ramble so now I'll just add some more pictures, go eat dinner, read some of Isaiah, and go do some homework, talk to Colvin, and sleep.

P.S. I do love babies. I'm so excited 'cause my cousin Jessica is pregnant and so is my aunt Jill!
