1. Self-portrait: me giving a hamster covered in lip gloss a bath, after someone thought it was a good idea to get gussied up and smooch a rodent. No worries about swine flu around here. Just hamster plague.
2. Me getting my toe caught in one of the little openings in the side of a laundry basket as I went to go fold clothes, losing my balance, falling face first on the couch, breaking my medic alert bracelet and barely avoiding taking out The Man's laptop.
3. The look on my face when Boodle, in response to some obviously stupid thing I said, replying with "O-M-G Mom", wherein she actually SPELLED OMG at me. Please remind me of this harmless, amusing exchange when I'm here bitching and moaning about teenagers in a few years.
4. Loodle getting her ears pierced today, for which she's been saving for two months. I missed this one because we got all the way to the mall and inside the store, before she turned to me and solemnly admitted, "I'm just not ready, Mom." I admire her bravery and willingness to admit her fear.
5. Me, snuggling in Boodle's bed with her, after I read three chapters of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to she and her sister before bedtime. She fell asleep holding my hand, which is unbelievably rare.
6. Loodle still awake now in her room, bedside light "secretly" on, continuing to read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, her curiosity burning that brightly.

6 of you HAD to say...:
Awe... to 5 and 6.
I feel so old... to 3.
I'm guessing it was Loodle who smooched the hamster. Only because she was the last one I saw wearing the lip gloss when I visited.
And I'm certain The Man would have forgiven you for killing his laptop if you had in fact toppled it in 2. I mean, it isn't like you go around destroying laptops - except for that one time.
Loved #5 as now my kids are teens and I RARELY ever get to snuggle them much less hug them.
Been there (sort of) with #1 except our hamster needed an emergency vet visit costing $112. Now how many hamsters can you get for that?
Ben there and done that #2
Those last ones are so sweet. Sorry about your toe...
LOL at the hamster and lip gloss!
As for getting toes stuck in the laundry basket, you are NOT the first person to do this, it HURTS! :P
Aww, what sweet moments. And yup, I've done the same thing with a laundry basket. Fun times.
Also, I've managed to almost remove my pinky toe about five times by catching it on the legs of the bed. My god, it hurts SO BAD!
Wow, you totally had me busting a gut laughing (OMG!) and then tearing up at the end... Thanks for keeping my emotional roller coaster going strong, BD.
