Pinkeye again...it's not really "sick" but it's sick enough that the kids aren't supposed to be with other kids. So Wednesday, which is normally a productive and busy day for all of us, is now a lazy day. I am certainly not sick but having my routine disrupted is making me feel lazy. We are all being really lazy/bored to the point of delirium. I have been sending the kids on random errands for me--can you please go get my phone, can you please go get my water bottle. I have even taught Theo to fill my water bottle up in the sink for me. (Exploitation or just learning to serve others?)
Fortunately they are bored enough, they are happy to oblige. And I can't get this poem out of my head.
LAZY JANE
by Shel Silverstein
Lazy
lazy
lazy

lazy
Jane,
she
wants
a
drink
of
water
so
she
waits
and
waits
and
waits
and
waits
and
waits
for
it
to
rain.

Gotta love Shel Silverstein!!
