Granny in the making

There are moments when I look in the mirror and see my mother. Moments in time when I do something, and I think, OH MY GOD, my mom would have done the same thing. Moments, when I see myself *GASP* turning into her. LOL!! Tonight was one of those nights. At Lisa's suggestion, I broke down and bought the heating pad. My back is in so much pain, I feel like I could pass out! So Katherine and I head to Target to make the all important purchase. Thank goodness they only had one model to choose from. Since I was delirious from the pain, I didn't need to be making such big decisions. I just wasn't qualified! LOL! I get home, open the box and out falls an instruction book. Are you kidding me? Not a single sheet of paper or a small pamphlet, but a book for cryin' out loud. How hard can it be??? Of course, I didn't read a word, I just assembled and turned the thing on. Thank God it works. Oh, and to top it off -- I'm working in the nursery in church tomorrow morning. I'll be crawling all over the floor and playing with babies. I guess I'll be popping some Tylenol first thing!! This is where my mother comes in... As Laurie and Isaac will tell you, she's always using the heating pad -- even in the heat of summer. It's insane. I will not keep this thing out... My back will not hurt next week... I will not turn into my mother! LOL.

Katherine has her obsessions -- ballet class, shoes, her art easel, anything pink, and the lint between her toes... AAAh, yes, she hates the lint between her toes. She goes through probably 4 or 5 pair of socks daily. She's constantly taking them off and picking in between her toes.... I'm not sure she actually finds anything, but it certainly appears she's diggin' for gold. And of course, in true Katherine style, she can't wear "dirty" socks, so she grabs a new pair. So tonight we're upstairs and she finds the lint roller. (Matt must have taken it with him to NYC and left it out, because I have no idea where she found it). She asks me what it is, and as soon as "lint roller" crosses my lips, she has her socks off and was trying to shove this honkin' thing between her toes. HA-HA-HA.
