I have been accused of being a little wordy and taking too long to tell a story, which is ridiculous. I mean, I majored in journalism; I know how to be succinct and how to tell a story quickly. Perhaps I just have a lot to say.

Letters
Dear mouth pain,
Please let whatever is hurting my gum/inner lip to cut it out. It's too far back to get a good look at it, but I think it's a canker sore. I've had a lot going on lately. Maybe I should pare back?
Dear Mama's Marauders,
You are my fantasy football team. I have been severely disappointed in you thus far this football season. I'm hoping we can pull out a win this week against my bro-in-law's team. (How embarrassing would it be for him - a fantasy football veteran - to get beaten by the loseriest team in our league?)
Dear ladies tap class,
We are back in action tonight after a summer-long hiatus. Hopefully I can keep up!
Dear fall weather,
Welcome! Please stay a while!
Dear Big Daddy's cold,
Please leave his body; and leave this house, too, while you're at it. Neither Emma nor I want you. You are unwelcome.

3 Thoughts Thursday: Forgetful
1. Does being busier make one more forgetful?
Or is that just me? I was at Emma's school yesterday helping out, and then afterward Emma and I went to get haircuts. Homework got done later than normal, but no biggie. Or so I thought.
This morning, I was praying with Emma before the bus came (we do that every morning), and I prayed for her to do well on her spelling test. It dawned on me right then that we hadn't finished her spelling practice worksheet (that I have to sign to say she did the items). We ran in and she did it verbally and I put the signed paper in her bag. Got her on the bus and I came inside.
I put in a load of laundry and came upstairs to do my Bible study. Right as I got started, I realized I'd forgotten to remind Emma to take her almost-finished-and-due-tomorrow library book with her so she could read on the bus. D'oh!
I finished my Bible study and then took Emma's book down to the school so she would at least have it on the bus ride home, and maybe she could read it a little if she had some free reading time during the day.
I felt so discombobulated this morning. Luckily things have turned around since then. But geez.
2. I find it easier to remember things if I makea list lots of lists.
And then I like to cross off each item after I do it. It makes me feel like I've really accomplished something. I even cross off the stuff on my grocery list as I shop.
3. I had a third thought, but I forgot what it was.
It happens to the best of us.
