surprised there was calm enough to talk w/ hart so hysterical.  that will get easier.  unless it gets harder first.

she's so mature in some ways.  walking home she talked about how sara was not a friend "in some respects."  that was about the fact that she's decided that jolene is her friend.  but seems comfortable w/ ella's friendship.

she did a great job of getting thoughts down on paper a) describing the store in mexico for homework, and b) writing me a letter at school yesterday.  made me think writing is getting easier for her.  hm.

Sevi last night

she always wants to talk at bedtime which is great.  confided in me that she hopes she gets to the end of the school week quickly because it's been very hard lately.  I asked what was hard and she said they were writing fairy tales, which she found really hard.  we talked about how having a wild imagination could be the fun part, and she made up some outlandish things to show she could do it, but we also talked about how getting thoughts down in writing was hard.

A Field Guide to Rubber Bands

Sevi wanted to stop and pick up gritty rubber bands off the damp
sidewalk this morning, in order to give them to Frank Adams, who's
collecting them. I said identifying what kind they were (i.e. wild
vs. domesticated, exotic etc) was important, and for that we'd need
the Field Guide.

Dream for Candy

Had a dream in which Sevi was begging to buy candy at a store, two
kinds: Buzzies & Oyster Gods
