Life has been hairy around here lately, leaving me little time to write.  School schedules, soccer, piano, doctor's appointments, and a lovely trip for my husband and me to northern Michigan has occupied much of my time.  Slowing down doesn't seem to be an option!  I don't fully mind, though.  I'd rather be busy than bored.  So I am trying to enjoy these mom-as-taxi years of homework and lessons and chores and practices.  I know they will pass by very quickly!

Here's a little gem from one of my young'uns (it shouldn't be hard to guess which one!):

"Hey mom?  Is there a book called The Hideous Hedgehog??"

Sadly, no.  But I suggested he write it.
