Today's Confessions (now Yesterday's)

Tonight I asked a girl in our small group, E, your birthday was yesterday right? The 9th? Less then two minutes later I turned to R and asked What's today's date?

On the way home from church I called my sister L. She answered and we were talking, but her cell service wasn't great. There was a moment or two of silence. I began humming. Then she asked me what Squirms was doing. Startled, I jumped and just started laughing....because I had forgotten that I was on the phone. With the person that I had called. Then she hung up on me. I think because I was laughing and she was confused. But, later I texted her a picture of how great my hair looks today, so we're okay. I know she appreciates receiving photos of me.

Several times today, while spending time with my sweet, affectionate, I-heart-mom's-attention-right-now daughter, I thought maybe I should go back to work....maybe a reduced work week. Then I ask myself, isn't mom's-attention-on-demand the main reason you aren't at work right now? This head conversation can actually spiral out of control and I'm not trying to get into a mom-career discussion.

While cleaning up a present from Squirms in one room, I heard crying. She had tried to take my her book into my closet her own little space to read quietly. Her expressions really tell the best story of our day.

Please note the title of the book she dropped while climbing to her perch.

She was upset because she had dropped my her book and couldn't reach it.

Shoe basket....or reading nook?

Don't worry - I did actually help her down.

I have a slight crush on Laurence Fox's character on Inspector Lewis. And then I used Google to check my spelling of his name (which I misspelled) and discovered (like a stalker) that he's married to Billie Piper! Rose!! My two favorite British TV shows, Inspector Lewis and Doctor Who! 

For two days, I have been wearing Mint Candy Apple nail polish on two fingers. A bright green/blue color on only two fingers. Why? I'm really not sure.
