p.s.

this is a p.s. to the blog post below.
you should read that one first.....

but i just belly laughed at my kitchen table
cause the guys noticed i raked outside.
they looked at the pile of leaves and mentioned
them.

and sooooooo i just had to tell them my story
about my heart (see blog below)

noah listens and then says 'let me ask you something, mom.'

'sure,' i say.

'when you picture your heart there, what's it look like?'

'it looks like a real heart. all gooey and slimy and oozey.
that's why the stuff sticks to it.'

i grinned at him.

he looked at me and said 'you know, i just don't even know
what to say.'

that's when i did a belly laugh.

i love these guys.

we had breakfast and talked and joked and there was a lot
of laughing goin' on.

'ya know, mom, whatever you did sure seems to have done
something to you.'

i grinned again.

'it's the leaves....and the moss....and the seed pod thingie...'

zakk just looked at me with this goofy grin on his face....

ah, life......
sometimes the little things mean everything....
