Meat Bones

It has been a long, long week. (Swing low.....sweet chariot....too dramatic??)
It has been a long, long....everything. And in my head I've gotten kind of whiny. I have not blogged much in a long while, I keep thinking I have nothing to say. But, really, I miss saying all that nothing.
Today I was chit-chatting with a four-year-old. I said one of those usual grown-up things like "are you growing up big and strong?" and he said "yes, I have Meat Bones!" I said "oh, really? How's that?" He said "I've been eating lots of good food and now have meat bones."
Of course, we know he meant that he has "a lot of meat on his bones" but still....made me smile all day long.
And tonight, when my 3 and 11/12ths niece and I went to McDonalds to pick up dinner she said "Aunt Carrie, why did you hold my hand?" and I said "because I like you!" I don't think kids hear that enough, so I try to say it as much as I can to whatever child I'm hangin' with. It takes a village, people (but not the Village People (ALICIA))....
Other than that, I am just REALLY looking forward to spring...
