Is it strange that finding all these Care Bears lined up on the playroom floor in color order made me especially happy? Probably. And odd that sometimes in order to fall asleep at night I imagine cleaning my house? Definitely. Indeed, I'm sure it's also very bizarre that many of the most calming moments of my life have almost always involved some kind of sorting or organization project.
What can I say? When
The Berenstain Bears and the Messy Room is still your favorite children's book at 35 because of all of the illustrations of a clean, organized room at the end, you know you are probably little more than a weirdo in Mommy's clothing.
Which I am. I'll totally own it.
{This perfect line of Care Bears gives me hope that I've passed some of that lovely weirdness on to my own children,}
P.S. Alexa whispered to me tonight, "You're the best kind of Mommy that someone can have," after I told her we could still do an I-Spy book in the morning despite her ridiculous tantrum tonight. Melts my very heart, that one.
You are the best kind of mommy. It's true. Even if you don't wear high heels.
