Best Part of the Day-
Rode bike to hospital job and it was a gorgeous way to start and end the day.

Worst Part of the Day-
Scarlet may have been exhausted, but she was being a rowdy, non-listening pill before bed. I had to remove all of her (billions) of stuffed animals as a consequence (had not had to do this in over 3 years??) Liam was perplexed by it and said a few times, "I just want to give her a hug...maybe that would help." Why is my 3 year-old acting more mature than my 6 year-old? It was a LOT for me to take.

(Weird) kid quotes:
When pretending I was a Mama bear per Liam's request, he was having difficulty articulating that even though he wanted me to be a bear, he no longer wanted to be a bear. "I am not a bear anymore...I am a, a, one of the people." "You mean a human?", I asked. "No", he whined, "not a human...I mean a person!" Oh my.

As I was telling Scarlet about how my hospital job was today, she made her telltale sour face that has to do with her being sensitive to malodorous scents occasionally found in the hospital zone. As I started in on my generic speech of how to act appropriately when dealing with older folks and hospitals and nursing homes, and pee-pee and poop smells, she cut me off. "It's not so much the pee smell, I can handle that now. It's that strange rotten lasagna smell I can't get over." What?? Double oh my.
