Pretty in purple


Even her grey eyes look purple!

Michael Lewis is a brilliant read...

                                  
 
I just finished both of these books, and I am not here to review or synposize (is that a word?).  I will describe each book with one word: powerful.  But that adjective takes completely different meanings in each book.  I highly suggest reading both, one to be moved, and the other to become informed, and perhaps a bit (or in my case, highly) enraged.

Sleep, sleep, elusive sleep


What I wouldn't give to be able to sleep like this...
at a time other than between 4am and 7am.

Need more pieces...


Charlie:  Momma, I need more pieces.
Me: Pieces of what?
Charlie: Pieces.  There's no more pieces.
Me: What pieces?  
( I head into the den to see what C is talking about, and see the above picture)
Charlie:  See?  There's no more pieces!
Me:  You're right.  You used all the train tracks.  It looks good.
Charlie: But I need more pieces.
Me: There aren't anymore honey.
Charlie: Momma needs to get more pieces at the grocery store.
Me:  That's not where we get pieces.
Charlie:  At the library?
Me:  No, we get books there.
Charlie:  Oh, I know.  We need to go to Target.
