Apparently, I'm getting old.

No, it wasn't the slowly appearing wrinkles that gave it away. Or the kids saying "Wow, Mommy, you're really old!!"

It was last night in WalMart, when I found myself perusing the dish gloves to actually USE for washing dishes.

I used to laugh at my mom for wearing those pretty yellow Playtex gloves. Matter of fact, I laughed at her less than a year ago when she bought 2 pair to use here.

Yet last week, I found myself scrounging under the sink, looking for her gloves. Which, I might add, were a little on the snug side.

So I took the plunge. And bought a pretty pink pair of Playtex "Living" gloves. $1.94, plus tax.

And my hands haven't been happier.

breaking up is hard to do

But I think that's what I need to do. I've started another blog over here where I plan to share some of the hobbies and such I enjoy! Come on over and check out a cake!

Are we in Japan?

On New Year's Eve, my mom and I took the children to the beach so I could take some photos. We parked a little ways down from the train station and decided to walk up to the pier and out along it.

As we got close to the pier, there were tons of people coming off it and walking along the seawall. I stopped to take pictures of the boats and the pier, and pointed out to H that she was looking at the Pacific Ocean.

She nodded solemnly and looked around her before asking, "Are we in Japan?".

I had NO idea what she was talking about and started to tell her no when my mom answered, "No, but I can see why you might think that".

Literally every person around us was Asian. It was as if a tour bus had stopped and let them all off. And I guess Miss H figured that Asian people and the Pacific Ocean meant we were in Japan.

This kid really does scare me sometimes.

That reminds me.... earlier in the week, we walked to a playground/park not far from my mom's house. There was a climbing structure made from tensioned ropes that resembled the Eiffel Tower.

H paused, looked at it, and exclaimed, "That's the tower in France!".

How does she KNOW these things?

According to her, "Boo" tells her.

I hope Boo is around when she takes her SATs! ;)
