- I can’t garden.
- Or knit.
- I don’t drink black coffee. (I feel like I should, because it’s more caffeinated than tea, and therefore more efficient. But tea is delicious, while black coffee tastes like bitter, liquidy dirt.)
- I’m terrible at mornings. (May be related to above.)
- And meal planning. (Related to nothing.)
- And returning phone calls. (I kind of hate the phone.)
- I never get pedicures. (Pedicures freak me out.)
- I don’t have goats. (Because: poop. Also because: goats.)
- My blog posts always sound better in my head than they do onscreen.
Five for Five. Today’s topic: CHANGE. I promise you Jen & Sarah did not hope for posts about goat poop, and yet HERE WE ARE.
Question for you: is there anything you are not about to change?
Hold on! This week’s almost over…
Hold on! Your rescue surely awaits.
Hold on. Reinforcements are arriving, shortly.

So. Some days, there you are, sitting on the grass in the backyard, reading your book while the children chalk all over the sidewalk and fences and trees and whatnot. (Not really the trees.) (Yes really the other stuff.)
Awesome! You think to yourself. Kids are having fun! Everyone’s getting their vitamin D! I am reading a book! This is going well!
And then you look up.
Can you read it? It says PLEASE HELP.
Um, you think. Folks? Why the SOS on the fence? Anyone? Anyone? No one? No? Okay then…
But no, actually it is this:
Aha! Please help COLOR. That is much better.
Then it all turned in to this:
Go chalk!
And no air-drops of emergency chalk were required. Which was good. I don’t even know who you call for that.
Blueberry-stained fingers ALSO get me every time.
I am trying to type.
Sadie is trying to sit on my lap.
Says I: I can’t type with you in my lap.
Says she, with great patience: Try, mama. You will see. Easy peasy.
I: …
She: … lemon … squeezy?
Four-year-old logic. Gets me every time.
Goodnight, Sadie.
Sadie sweetpea, goodnight.
Goodniiiiiiight!
Bedtime routine, over and over again!
(Four year olds should not nap.)
(Nap means not sleepy at bedtime.)
Goodnight! You’re getting sleepy! (No?) Goodnight…
