Muffin is in prek also known as kindy today. I miss her but I do not miss the cartoons on television that I allow wayyy to much. She was excited to go and I know she is having fun. But the peace of no Dora, Sesame Street, and all the others...
While she kindy's, I have gone grocery shopping with the baby, gotten him down for a nap, talked with a sister, played with him,flipped and folded laundry and straightened the kitchen. Checked email and facebook, made some random comments and read something that just grabbed at my heart. Now the baby is back to sleep and I am wishing I could get Muffin already...She got there earlier today and asked if she could stay later, which she will, simply because her brother is resting. I am feeling a bit sad today. Despite the housechores I have done, it is still a wreck and I am just not motivated to do it. I want to write the blog and write an email back to a dear friend and try to get this little girl off my mind, but I just can't shake it. Roundabout way of getting to it...I am heartbroken today, for a friend of a friend who is losing her daughter to Niemann Pick Disease. It sounds like she may have hours to live... I have followed her parents blog a bit and it is nothing short of heartwrenching and the parents are nothing short of amazing. Though I know, no matter how prepared they are this is devastating. Truly, I am feeling so sad for them and for her brother. He is a carrier of the disease, but not afflicted.Warning, if you are not up to feeling weepy, do not open this, but should you be interested in learning more about the disease and/or sharing some love with a stranger that is suffering, check out their blog at:

So hugs to all of you readers and kiss your babies and play with them and listen to them...and have a little fun with each of your children, text them, call them, email them, share your love. It is a gift.
Lightening up the mood a little, this is what my dear three year old said to me yesterday, "Daddy and me are clever and youuuu are not." She wasn't being ugly, just stating the facts. There you go...from the mouth of babes. Smarty pants. Well, I am still her mother, right, Mrs. Mack, Sr??!!
So when are YOU coming to Australia? Some things you may want to know for your trip ( I forgot to do this on recent posts).
-The Post office called Australia Post is closed on Saturdays.
-There are wild camels in the desert. Huh? Yeah. Google it or something.
-You have to use Australia approved car seats for kiddies, they have them for hire.
That's all I've got today. I have a few things I keep forgetting to post about, and I again, have forgotten.
Hugs.
