Just Because You Aren't Prepared Doesn't Mean You Can't Make It Work

---

Mama me…

Tried to be prepared…have what was needed…at home…in the car…for school…to keep those little girls of hers safe…and occupied…

Until…a snow day…miles out of town…not going anywhere til the gravel roads are cleared…thought all was good…and then…out of the blue…came a request…

We want to do crafts…they said…and mama me realized…she was not as prepared…as…she thought…

Had toys and puzzles…crayons and paints…pretty much anything under the sun…but did not just happen…to keep crafts…on hand…

Until the next snow day…when…we’d like to do crafts came into play…and what to their wondering eyes did they find…waiting in a box…up in the storeroom…

Crafts…crafts of all kids…bracelet making…perler beads…paint a rock…paint a birdhouse…create…your own dinner plate…

And it was fun…lots of fun…until another day…another snowed in not going anywhere day…came a request…an excited…little girl request…

A quilt…she said…today…I’d like to make a quilt…

And so it is…sometimes…you just aren’t prepared…but that doesn’t mean…you aren’t capable of making it work…some way…some how…or maybe…some other day…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
