lucky mama me: March 2011

11 March 2011

Lately

Holland reminds me each day

when I take her to school

that all she does

work

I can relate.

So I thought I would document all of her

work

She presented a "Blender Color Wheel"

at her school Science Fair

And she did a magnificent job!

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
