Welcome!

I am often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Wisdom from My 7 Year Old


I'm back from a fabulous, restful, sunny vacay on the beach. I truly was not ready to give up the good life and come back to reality...but I did!

So so much catching up to do both in the blogging world and in my real life...so for now, just some wise words from my SweetGirl.

It is amazing what you hear when you have time to slow down and really listen...

Mean People Suck.

I hate it when you have this great thought in your head and then...you forget what you were going to say.

Why can't boys and girls just get along?

Why do some people think they are SO much better then other people? She just needs to get over herself!

Beach sand does not belong in your teeth. Uck.

There is no better place in the world then digging in the sand with your sister, your Mommy and your Daddy. Can we have ice cream now?

OMG I hate having a thought in my head and then forgetting it. IT DRIVES ME INSANE!

Yep, mean people suck.
I used to be mean.....oh wait sometimes I am still mean.

Hmm...I only suck a little (some of the time)
I feel better about that : )

Glad you enjoyed your vacation!

Glad you're back! I MISSSSSSED YA!

Mean people do suck. Very fitting for the day I've had. Sage words from a wee one.

Lady Mama said...

Crikey girls say those things when they're 7? Imagine what she'll be coming out with when she's a teen.

I love your sweet girl. Glad you had fun. Glad you are back!

SO wise at such a young age. Mean people totally suck!

Lady Di said...

Teeth are not the only things sand does not belong in....and...oh wait, I totally had a GREAT comment in my head that I was going to type and now it's gone. She's right...I hate it when that happens :)

Theta Mom said...

Glad to hear you had a great vacation. She sounds like a smart girl...she's learning the ropes already. I actually just took my infant to the beach for the first time. It was quite a trip!!!

Crystal Jigsaw said...

I can't cope with sand on my skin, never mind in my mouth; double yuk! Sounds like you had a lovely holiday.

I agree. Beach sand does not belong on teeth.

We'll be going to the beach in a few weeks and I'll have to keep that in mind.

Sara @ Domestically Challenged said...

I love listening to random bits too! It is part of what makes life fun. If not scary.

Jennifer said...

Oh man, sand in your mouth is gross! I hate that! But I'm glad to hear you had a lovely vacay otherwise! :-)

well I hope she got ice cream.

Helene said...

I can totally relate to the whole "have a thought in my head and then....poof...it's gone". I like to blame it on loss of brain cells from pregnancy but I think that excuse is getting a little old (and unbelievable....)

Hope you had fun on your vacation!

mean people do suck... but that last line... it totally won out!

Loukia said...

Ahh... well said! :) So cute. Welcome back! Glad you had a great time! :)

Thanks for reminding me that I have the same thoughts as a 7-year-old. If she starts spoutin' off against feminism, be afraid...

Sounds like you had a great vacation--good for you!
