I feel terrible...

...that I haven't taken the time to post at all lately. The only excuse I have is that I've been so busy. Like "Oh my God it's Thursday again!" busy. (Thursday being the day I teach at school) I spend all my free time making stuff to sell on Etsy, and shipping stuff we've sold, and cleaning, and yard work, and feeding and, and, and... So I get precious little time to just sit in front of the computer and do non business related things.

But please don't think that I'm whining. I'm actually thrilled that things are so busy and crazy. I really don't think I could ever enjoy a life of simplicity...meaning nothing every happens around here. But I do admit I'm looking forward to summer and the end of teaching, and preschool and dance. More mornings to pretend like I might just sit around.

So I promise, really, I'm going to try harder to write more frequently about all the silly things that occur around here. Just to prove it I'll relate the story of Hedgie.

Hedgie is a very small, soft, stuffed hedgehog that Anya got for Easter this year. Just to be silly I stuck it under her shirt. Now, two months later, Hedgie is still riding around under her shirt. She is so proud of her little lump. She runs around patting Hedgie through her shirt and grinning and if he happens to fall out she will frantically run up to me and lift up her shirt so I can stuff him back in there. I can see it now. "My name is Anya, and when I grow up I want to be a kangaroo."

I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed when I got to her picture... I was expecting a lump under her shirt. But I got over it quickly -- she's such a cutie!

Happy Mother's Day! Hope the stories continue to be cute & adorable (vs the scary & embarassing ones)...
