Scarlet and I had a successful "girl day" complete with Christmas shopping, errands a lunch AND dinner date. Whew. One the way home we stopped at work so I could pick up some papers and S. exclaimed to one of my coworkers, "I've been in and out of the car over 10 times today!" It's true that this is a first as usually I limit her to 2 stores/outings per day due to my fear that her behavior could crumble at any moment...perhaps I should have more trust? (It's that PTSD again.)
Worst Part of the Day-
Will-O and Liam left for their week with the boys as they are spending 6 days in Virginia with W.'s stay-at-home dad friend and 2 little boys. I was well-composed when I shuttled them to the airport. I am gonna miss my gushy, little love hound this week...
Positive Note of Worst Part: Liam did not bat an eyelash when leaving me. He could barely believe HE was one of the lucky ones to get to step into the brightly lit, bustling (at 6am) airport. Usually he was bidding farewell to others--not today. He was too wide-eyed and preoccupied with "airplane, airplane!!" to worry about a thing.
One More Worst Thing: After instructing Scarlet to be careful and not touch anything while we browsed in Pier One, I knocked over a glass trinket (with my big ass faux fur) and created a small domino effect of falling glass trinkets---yikes. Scarlet was right to give me a stern look, "Mom, this store isn't for you."
