It was a good day.

The Super Bowl was tonight and the Chiefs won.

We watched it at Pop and Gammies and left shortly after halftime.

It was church and Sunday school this morning and Freddie’s for lunch.

Mom and T and I sat at a table together.

H and K, you ate at the bar counter looking out over Milwaukee Avenue and talked to each other like little women.

K you are so happy when we give you the autonomy to do things on your own.

You got drinks and ketchup for yourself at the far counter and beamed with joy.

Mom says you are “living your best life” when you are given freedom like that.

We did homework after that and a few chores too.

I even raked some acorns out of the backyard.

Honestly, it felt good to be outside with the sun on my face.

I love you.

Good grief T – I gleeked in your face today.

I’m so sorry!

You were home sick. Mom was at the chiropractor. And you and I were watching TV and cuddling on the couch.

TMI, but I have this jaw/dental thing called “tori” that makes me gleek more than most…

So we are watching Coco Mellon and talking and carrying on and whatever – and I gleeked.

You held your face and said:

I got water in my eye.

Of course I immediately apologize:

I’m so sorry! Did I gleek and spit on you?

But I said that and your face went from shock to hurt:

You spit on me?! Why did you spit on me?!

And then I made it possibly worse by explaining that it was all a an accident and then showing you what a gleek looks like.

You looked so repulsed and confused.

Ugh. Parenting is hard.

H and K laughed hysterically when I told them the story. 🙄

I love you.
