I Couldn't Resist

I was shopping at WalMart with my daughter this morning. She's outgrown her old flip flops, and wanted a new pair. She noticed some pink ones that were available in both kid sizes and grownup sizes. She was thrilled.

"Mommy," she said. "We could have matching flip flops. That would be the coolest thing in the world!"

I hate flip flops.

So, check out my new pink flip flops. My daughter has a pair that matches. She thinks that's the coolest thing in the world. She's eight. I know she won't feel that way for much longer. How could I resist?

    Brilliant! As another "middle aged mother" (2 sons 23 and 7 respectively) I can relate! I am mindful of how fast Alex has become 23 (on May 29 2011) and how quickly Ryan is growing up... each time he reaches out to have me hug him or read with him, or play another mind-numbing game I try to remember how precious these moments actually are...'cuz I KNOW I am gonna blink and they will only be a memory!
