i am feeling woozy...

Today I had the privilege of spending time with some of the youngest of my friends/their children. It was a fun and amazingly sunny day that included coffee, breakfast, playtime, and carrying a (not so small child) home from a park injury. I learned some things about myself, though.

*Not only is white not to be worn after Labor Day, but, it is a poor choice to wear to a Portland playground that is always going to be soggy. Mud smears never say polished and put together.

*There is a reason that there are no adult sized merry go rounds to be used as amusement. I was being spun by a 2 year old and was so dizzy I contemplated how embarrassing it would be to get sick in public.

*My shoulder will need months of strengthening before I can ever carry a child around full time.

*Kids are fun. The most fun when their parents are ready to take them back when I am ready :)

*I love Portland in the fall (and, especially, when it is not raining)
