Go look outside... see that light post? You're welcome. All the taxes I paid today bought you that.
Happy April 15th! Hope it was happy and not depressing for you. I thought about doing coin rubbings with the daycare children in honor of this momentous day for our country. However I do speak sarcasm as a second language and not everyone appreciates that quality in a person.
Yesterday I planted some plants I started indoors from seeds. Though it is a bit early, I am optimistic they will be fine. In the process the kids and I enjoyed worms! Jack thoroughly enjoyed worms. He actually had a hard time letting the worms go back to the earth. He snuck inside grabbed a clear container. I have these on hand for collecting ants, bugs, and even once a slug. He balled up several worms and put them in the container. Unfortunately by the time I saw what he had done that worm ball wasn't doing so well. He insisted they stay with him for most of the day including through nap time. It was horribly disgusting.

The two sweetest words ever....
When Jack says, "Thanks mom." It just melts my heart, he says it in a way that each time it feels like the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me. Another one that gets me is when I say, "I love you" to him he will respond, "ove you, SO MUCH!" Which is another very sweet one. He is also a very funny guy, he now says, "my bad!" Defenity a daddy's boy!
I got my grades for winter trimester, at I have made the Deans List! YAY me! The new trimester started friday. I have decide to take 3 classes, 4 for just a month because my one semester class goes through April. I think because these new classes are ones that I am interested in and most of them I already have pretty good understanding of the material, so hopefully it won't be so bad.
Today I predict is going to be a productive day! At least I am starting out optemistic!

Terrific or Terrible Tuesday?
Tuesday morning brought terrible news. My Grandmother had passed away in her sleep. Though I knew she wasn't in the best health, I somehow never expected that she would actually pass away. Later in the morning I recieved a call from my best friend Katie letting me know that she would be heading into the hospital to start the process of inducing labor. She had previously asked me to be a support person along with her Fiance when she gives birth. Most of Tuesday was an emotional roller coaster, as I reflected on my grandmother and prepared for welcoming the birth of my best friend's child all in the same day.
Early afternoon Katie called me, it sounded like she was starting to have contractions, but she was a long way off, infact she had been discharged and was to go in for a check up at 4. At 5:00 she didn't awnser her phone, so I walked up to the store with Abby since it was such a nice day for a couple things we needed for supper. By the time I came back, Charlie had the lastest news, Katie had been admitted and was infact in labor and that I should check in after dinner and the kids were down. That turned out to be perfect timing because at that point they were indeed ready for me.
This was the first time besides my own children that I have had the previlige of witnessing a birth. I will refrain from sharing the grotesque details, but would describe it as nothing short of a miracle. I didn't understand the truth of that statement in its entirety until late tuesday evening/wednesday morning.
Still the most surprising event that occured is that the baby boy we were all expecting turned out to be baby, Elsa Louise! No matter how many new born babies I hold, I do believe that each time I will equally marvel at how tiny and perfect they look.
