Reliable

I think reliable is a marvelous word.  Reliability makes the world go round!  Here are some reliable things in my life:

1-Sunshine.  Here it is very rare to have a cloudy day all day. The sun is tenacious and almost always peeks through.

2-Yesterday Emma got herself up and out the door in the predawn hours and headed to her Shakespeare Competition all by herself.  Of course she did.  She's Emma.

3-The night before Emma left they had a Night of Shakespeare showcase.  It was my third year running and high school students doing Shakespeare is painful.  You can stitch that on a pillow.

4-Emma's room looks like a tornado struck (as per usual).  I'm not sure if this happened before or after she left but I'm guessing before.

5-Mark and I were talking about a song for his audition.  He refused all of my suggestions.  Because he is one of my children.

6-When I texted Adam yesterday that it was a soup and bread sort of day he stopped at Kneaders on the way home from work.  For soup and bread.

It's so nice to have things you can count on.
