NaBloPoMo Day 24: Under the Wire
to have one's ducks in a row
- (idiomatic) To be organized; to have one's affairs in order; specifically, to have a multi-person effort coordinated towards the exact same goal.
- Wouldn't it be nice to have our ducks in a row and not have to search for the papers every time we needed them? (from Wiktionary.org)
- The day is almost done, and I haven't had a chance to get my National Blog Posting Month post up yet. Things have been busy! I've been doing this and this! It's all very exciting!
- Like the "Ducks in a Row" photo? Courtesy of Little One. When I said, "Mommy really needs to get her ducks in a row", Little One lined up her rubber duckies and dragged me to the bathroom.
- "Get your ducks in a row like this, Mama?"
- Wow. Kids are so smart. It's amazing how they absorb the world and happenings around them and are able to form their own understanding of things.
- I still can't get over the fact that she tells me things like, "Mommy, I have an idea. I have a HY-PO-POSIS", "I yuuuuv Quinoa salad!" or "I'd like to have goat cheese on my hamgurber". In between running around like a chicken with my head cut off and trying to do everything (and never getting everything done), I manage to find moments of clarity where I catch glimpses of the magic that is childhood. It is brilliant seeing my Little One making connections and formulating her own ideas and opinions. Being three years old is awesome.
- She really amazes me each and every day.

About the Blog Author
City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

I love how kids are so litteral.
And how they make everything seem so magical...like the little river of rain water that flooded my backyard. Chunky said "OoooOOOOooo momma. Someone dumped a pool in our yard"
Where do they come up with stuff?
Kim:
I know! Kids are too funny! They say the craziest things sometimes, yet it really makes sense if you think about it! :)
Love that the Chunkster said someone dumped a pool in your yard. Oh, to be a kid again! Everything is so magical when you're a kid. *sigh*
