What am I made of?


Monday is definetly our busiest day. Run to pick up the girls on time - at 3:15, take Brielle to Choir - eat a snack run into change her clothes. Micaela home, snack change clothes take her to Choir and Brielle to gymnastics. Of course in an attempt to make a busy afternoon crazier - I decided I would make the most of the moments not in the car- and clean out under my sink - this had to be done because I was mopping my floor. Do you see the logic? Actually it did end up being a good think - because I found we had a leak going on under our sink. So our neighbor the plumber came over and we solved the myster - a leacky sprayer faucet - I am sure that is the technical term. Thank goodness it won't be too expensive to fix. Now that I have all the contents strewn all over my counter - to the cupboard can dry, I proceed to mop my floor - Our floor has become the bane of my housecleaning career - it just kind of has a foggy film on it, once mopped it looks cloudy!!! I have tried everything - amonia & vinegar, murphy's wood floor cleaner, the potion the door to door salesman sold us, a new mop, and evern water. Anyway I am off the supject. Admidst all my cleaning, carpooling, soup making, dinner dishing out, math test preparing . . . I get Zoe and Brielle in the bath - and somehowhave the sense to sit down for a moment and talk with Brielle who is totally submerged and "swimming" around in her bubble bath. She pops her head up for a moment and asks me - Mom, I wonder what I am made of? I proceed to give her a very intelligent answer I think - Blood, bones, skin, etc..... I smile and finish with all amazing and wonderful things. She simply smiles and says oh I was thinking I was made out of clay!!! And back under the water my little Brielle goes - made of all all things wonderful and amazing - blood, bones, skin, and perhaps even some clay. So what am I made of?
