lovely things.

{i typed this yesterday & thought i posted it but for some reason it didn't work... oh well}

mikayla got home from school & turned on some tunes.

it's "you & i" by ingrid michaelson. so we are singing...

"oh let's get rich and buy our parents homes

in the south of France

let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters

and teach them how to dance

let's get rich and build our house on a mountain

making everybody look like ants

from way up there you and I, you and I"

love that song. & those lyrics.

mikayla is on one today. she said "i'm way happy today and i think its cause i ate breakfast. i never eat breakfast. and usually i'm just angry after school. but today i had time to eat breakfast and i'm just happy!"

so my lesson of the day: always eat breakfast. you will be much happier.

i can't make up my mind about the weather. and the weather seems to not be able to make up its mind either.

sometimes all i want is warmth & sunshine but then the days where it is pouring and i hear the rain pattering on the roof and i look up at the foothills above my house and see how lovely&green they are rather than dead&brown; i am so grateful for the moisture we have been receiving. cause i know that soon enough it will be gone for a very long time. 

i have five weeks left here in this sweet home of mine so i'm hoping to soak up every second of it because before i know it i will be on a plane to the other side of the world. its a bitter-sweet feeling for me right now. so much to do still & so little time. so many changes taking place. plus, i'll be twenty-one in just three days! oh dear.. when did i grow up?
