Best Part of the Day-
My mom came to get the kidz for an overnight so I could attend my book club gathering. Woo-hoo. I cleaned, I organized, I exercised and made a yummy organic soup from scratch all between the hours of 4p and 6p. Then a perfect gathering of womyn at my friend, Megan's, with delectable eats and grand discussions. Yeah for feminism.  

Worst Part of the Day-
Scarlet is in this semi-annoying mode of obsessively planning elaborate play dates.  She will say over and over and over, "Mom, I have a great idea. Amelia can come over and then we can go to Grandma Barb's and have a sleep over.  Then we can go sledding and ice skating and make hot chocolate and pancakes..." I will have to nix her enthusiam by saying, "Whoa, whoa, whoa--I have to talk with Amelia's mom and grandma Barb and really that probably can't happen 'cause G-ma Barb's is kinda far for Amelia and we really need to plan these types of things in advance..." Miss S. will start to freak and not understand, "but I am planning and this is in advance!!!" And then she will keep pitching equally unattainable play date plans. Over and over and over.  And over and over she gets shot down.  I'm not trying to be a party pooper--living in reality can be a downer...
