Happy Friday + Randomness

October 11, 2013

Happy Friday! Poor K has had the sniffles for the last few days, and I’ve been plying her with a mixture of lemon juice and honey in warm water to soothe her throat. Luckily, I’m hale and hearty still, though I might have felt a tickle this morning. It’s a little unsettling to see K with such low energy. This is the girl who usually has the sass to say things like, “Don’t micromanage me, Mommy.”* But I think she’s on the mend and we now have the weekend to fully recuperate.

Just a quick note today as I need to go and prepare for my first ever sewing class this Sunday! Wishing you all a happy, happy weekend!

*This left me speechless, as you can imagine – where could she have possibly learned that?

I’m off to teach class
A little nervous, I am
though it will be fun!

    Hope little K feels better soon – such a bummer to be under the weather:-(
    I understand being nervous for your first class, but also know that you have no reason to be! You will come uber-prepared, very knowledgable, and with creativity that knows no bounds. Essentially, you will rock it! Would love to be part of this maiden voyage class:)

      Thanks Marta! Colder weather and lots of hugging with school friends pretty much guarantees the sniffles every fall…she’s doing much, much better so hooray! And thanks for your kind words about the class – fingers crossed 🙂

      Thanks Asmita! I was in a bit of a frenzy the day before at Kinko’s because I was trying to get these large format prints done and EVERYTHING was going wrong. But the day of the class itself was awesome!

    The micromanage comment is cracking me up! You have some lucky students waiting for you!

      Thanks Monica! Where do kids come up with this stuff? One time I asked her to get me some napkins and she paused, turned to me and said “Okay, but I want you to know that I’m not your personal slave.” What??? As for the class, I felt like the lucky one! The students were amazing and I actually learned some cool tricks from them! 🙂
