Thank you, Freecycle!

What? You've never heard of Freecycle?

This week I gave away an exersaucer for which we no longer had need. And I received a water table, which I was ready to buy. Two more large, plastic-y kid toys kept out of the waste stream.

New Water Table

That being said, the water table was emptied and left outside to enjoy the rains we've been having. It's about half full. We're pretty soggy here right now. *

Other than swapping cool kid toys, we've also received a microwave, crib mattresses, and have given away twin mattresses, beds, cat food, towels, soap, and lots more stuff I can't remember now.

*Revised post:  I wrote this on Wed. night.  By Thursday afternoon, the water table had filled to the top and has been overflowing.  We've received more than 10" of rain this last week.

Erin on reincarnation. Or on time. Or on a deeper truth of the universe that I can't yet grasp.

Pensive Erin

Erin to me in a quiet moment right before bed:


"Dad?  Next time I'm going to be a boy.  And a girl.  And a cousin.  And an adult.  And a woman.  And a chocolate bar.  And a ladybug.  And a poop. And a wall. I'm going to be all those things."
