I survived a day playing mom. Since Kelly and the real mom of the family are at the hospital this week for Kel's reversal, (conveniently during my spring break while everyone else is in Florida,) I get to play Mommy Dear to Lindsey.
My aunt called and asked how things were going, and I said just fine, I've got Linds making her own dinner right now. She laughed. Later though, I did take her to the mall, and the pet store.
I don't really like animals. I was stuck in a little box with two very hyper dogs for about half an hour, and that's about as much Mommyness as I could take. The one dog could jump about half a foot, he was hilarious, and the other tried to bite off Lind's pants. How fun. Jumping Bean dog was running is wild circles and ended up smacking his head against the wall, which led to whimpering that I only thought children were capable of after getting hurt. I did feel sorry for the little pooch, but when it licked my chin later on, I was glad to be leaving the store.
Mommyness continues tonight with some movie watching.
I can't wait.
Blank Canvas
Writing is not like painting where you add. It is not what you put on the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture where you remove, you eliminate in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain. - Elie Wiesel
