Hey lil I sense a transition coming up…..we know how good we are with those….you K? love you miss you gotta go oatmeal is burning. hey it didn’t send. Oatmeal disaster averted. Dad says “BLAH BLAH BLAH hi, I love you lil” I just wrote the important stuff. Now. I’ve scorched the oatmeal. I was up late last night counting my blessings (at the risk of sounding like a douche) somewhere around toilet paper I fell asleep. I woke up wondering why I get in my own way so much of the time. The only thing I can think of is… I am a douche. Sorry about so much douche but it makes me smile every time I type it. douche douche douche she typed laughing like an idiot. In short don’t be a douche like your mom. AND if for some reason your feeling down or doubtful or numb type douche it works for me. Well that is enough motherly wisdom for one email. now it’s time to eat my now cold oatmeal. love ya doll mom
