I Am Okay!

Whew, feels like awhile since I've been around these parts. It's been one of those weeks where each day felt like a year but the week itself felt like about six hours, you know?

Reminds me of a time many moons and several houses ago, when I was sitting in the livingroom and I heard my daughter start coming toward me down the hall. A few steps, and then - BOOM! [sound of child hitting floor].

Before I even had the chance to call out "everything alright?" (which is Mom Code for "do I have to get up?"), I heard her yell "I Am Okay!"

I settled back, only to hear two more steps and then - BOOM!

"I Am Okay!"

Followed by:

Two steps - BOOM - "I Am Okay!"

Two steps - BOOM - "I AM OKAY!!"

So I finally got up to see why she was so very okay.

And saw her picking herself up and try again to run down the hallway wearing only Dora underpants.

Which were around her ankles.

Thus it has been this week. Constant cycles of a few steps and BOOM (despite my undies being firmly up where they belong), but neverthless followed by yells of "I AM OK!!"
