Asking the tough questions

One of the great things about the pre-school age is being blindsided by random difficult questions. Today yielded this fabulous gem that I couldn't even bring myself to deal with yet.

Tough Conversation

"So, when are you getting married mom?" "I don't know. Not anytime soon hunny". Here I am thinking I am reassuring him as he has been so anxious/upset about my sister getting married. "But moms and dads are supposed to be married to each other." **RECORD SCRATCH**

Oh crap.

We're doing this now?

Quick, what do I say????

"Well, Isaac, there are lots of different kinds of families. Not every family has a mom and a dad who are married to each other. What's important is that the people in families love each other. And your dad and I both love you very much." "Well your dad is married to your mom." "That's true." "Well, maybe you could marry my dad."

Please.

Make it stop.

"No hunny. Mommy isn't going to get married anytime soon.... So! What would you like for breakfast today?"

I think that was our most awkward conversation to date.

Stayed tuned for tomorrow's report on our other recent awkward conversation, tenatively entitled "Will I ever have a sibling?"

Prison Labor and Delivery

This is insane and so sad.

I did yoga tonight for the first time since college. Suprrisingly, I am still pretty limber, considering how round and out of shape I have become over the years. Anyways, I forgot how much I LOVE it. I hope I can continue to do it at least once a week even once school starts up again. It's so relaxing. I love the chance to be still and focus on breathing and stretching and being in the moment. Check out this (not terribly research based) article that lists 77 benefits of yoga.

I saw this tree in Rittenhouse Square this past weekend when running around with my girlfriends. So I googled the story. Thoughts?

Despicable Me

Was awarded six thumbs up by me, Isaac and my mom. I liked it even better than Toy Story. Check it out!

words can't bring me down

Sure it's cheesey, but haven't you ever heard this on the radio and totally belted it out?

Can we talk about

My love for our first lady's sense of style?

One of my favorite blogs Tlo always profiles her styles choices.

I love how she always modernizes the traditional first lady pearls and suits. She always looks so sleek and modern.
