"May the love hidden deep inside your heart find the love waiting in your dreams. May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays."

Buying Things on Vacation

I bought Munchkin a few little things while we were on vacation. And the same number of little things for her little brother. I picked out some things that I would have bought for her if she was there but that were not overly expensive.

It’s always hard for me to pick out things for her. Will she like it? Does she have something like it? Will she think it is boring? Or silly? Or useless? Or? Or? Or? It’s not my favorite part of birth parenting.

And now, of course, I  have to get my act together, print out some pictures of the boys at camp and get everything mailed out. I thought I’d get to it today but I had so much work to catch up on (which I’m procrastinating on right now by blogging here) and I’m also babysitting for my neighbor and trying to get my boys back to some semblance of a routine and and and and. Sigh.

I hope she likes the stuff. I think I would if I was a girl her age. And I was once.
