Is it unacceptable to snack in a gynecologist’s exam room? Because I did. After an hour of waiting, plucking my eyebrows, flipping through magazines, and texting, I just broke down and ate my lunch. Right there next to the exam table. Stirrups and all.

Today was one of the worst days I’ve had in quite some time. I do not care to rehash. What I do want to share, is that sometime in the middle of this horrible day I noticed that my purse was much heavier than usual. Upon inspection, I found that ONE had filled it with rocks (where did he find those??) and toy race cars. 

I would have taken a picture, but alas — I washed my iphone in the washing machine on Monday.

Finding that stash in my purse made me instantly feel better. My job sucks, my husband refuses to do yard work, I got a parking ticket. So many things went wrong today … but looking inside my purse and finding all that stuff made it all better.

Motherhood makes me a better person.
