Cause they’re only young once.

The end of the school year was so crazy, and June is heavy on birthdays for us, and in the last few weeks I have fallen back into the habit of working at night as soon as dinner is done.

Today was busy again, and at 8:00 I still had my post waiting to be written.

I put Number 6 and 7 into bed and by the time that whole production was done, it was 8:45.

I was going to come into the office and get to work.

But we have been without a DVD player for the last four months or so.

And yesterday we got a new one.

Last night I worked away up in the office while the kids watched Little House on the Prairie.

I never made it down to watch it with them. And I was angry with myself.

And then today I found a Katy Perry DVD that we’ve had for about the past five months and haven’t been able to watch.

And Number 5 begged me to sit on the couch with her and watch it tonight.

And I told her I could only sit with her for five minutes and then I had work to do.

And then she plopped her head against my shoulder and asked me if I wanted to snuggle under a blanket with her, and, well,

I wanted to.

So I did.

Tonight, Number 5 came first.

As she should.

And so that is tonight’s post.

Oh.

And I kind of have a girl crush on Katy Perry now.

Thank you for making me Number 1!
