Good Mommy moment


Tonight, about 10 minutes before bed time, Leah looks at me and says, "How about a little Chutes & Ladders?" aka the game that never ends. And instead of saying, Nope, it's time for bed, I said "Sure!" I did cheat and zoom us both up to the end after having been sent to the very bottom again. In playing, I gave up about 20 minutes of reading Mansfield Park. Sometimes I am SOOO unselfish.

Speaking of games before bed and the writers strike, I was checking the latest blogging here when my elder daughter came in and directed us to www.freerice.com which helps reduce world poverty while working on vocabulary. Nice to have a little family vocabulary development before bed.
