Thoughts and Perspectives From the Mind of a Common Girl
*My husband wrote this note and gave it to me several months ago. I consider it to be, one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to me.

As I was leaving my daughter’s bedroom tonight after tucking her into bed, she called out to me in her sweet quiet little voice, and said, “I’m so glad I have you as my mom.” Of course, I had to rush right back in and give her another hug. She is just too precious for words. Thank you God, for blessings such as these.

A few weeks ago an embarrassing thing happened. My 15 yr old daughter asked me to show her how to upload pictures to Twitter. So being the nice mom that I am, I, of course, said yes, and promptly went to grab my phone to show her how to do it.
Unfortunately, I failed to remember that a few hours earlier, I had sent my husband a rather naughty photo of myself, and so when I went to show my daughter how to upload pictures to Twitter from my photo album, that naughty photo was on full display.
As soon as I realized it, I quickly pulled the phone away from her view and tried my best to act as unflustered as I could. She, of course, looked down at the floor, face bright red, trying so hard not to laugh hysterically. When she finally looked up at me a minute later, she said, “Well mom, at least it wasn’t a naked picture of grandma! That would have been so much worse!”
Oh, I had to laugh at her response. Because of course, having naked pictures of grandma on my phone is a natural thing! Not!!!
Then my husband walks in, and says what’s going on? I whispered to him what had just happened, and then in a very loud voice, he says… “Oh, which one did she see?” I about died all over again, and my daughter, of course, started laughing hysterically. I tell you, it’s never a dull moment at our house. I’m going to go hang my head in shame now. Lol….

Dinnertime questions from a dimwit (yeah that’s me).
Me – “Don’t these croutons seem stale to you? And I just opened the package today.”
Hubby – “Well you do realize that croutons are purposely made that way, right?”
Me – “Oh yeah, don’t mind me, I’m an idiot… Lol… Nevermind!”
*Guess you had to be there… 😉

Caller- “Hey, are you ok?”
Writer- “Yeah, why?”
Caller- “Well, I just read your blog post.”
Writer- “And?”
Caller- “Well you sounded sort of depressed.”
Writer- “Yeah, so?”
Caller- “Well it just sort of worried me.”
Writer- “Why?”
Caller- “Well, because you sounded so sad.”
Writer- “Can I ask you a question?”
Caller- “Sure, ask away…”
Writer- “When’s the last time you released all of your inner angst and just let it go.”
Caller- “Oh me? I never do that.”
Writer- “And how do you feel keeping all of those emotions bottled up inside of you?”
Caller- “Well, not too good I suppose.”
Writer- “Well then, shouldn’t I be more worried about you at the moment than you are about me?”
Caller- “Hmmm, yes I suppose… probably.”
Writer- “Well then, I think you’ve answered your question. Godspeed my good friend. Hope you’ll be okay.”
Caller- “Oh yeah… right, hmmm….. goodbye.”
