I did something very special this last week. For two reasons. I finished a tube of chapstick. First of all this was my first time ever actually getting to the bottom of the tube. Normally I: lose it, wash it, drop it, gross it up. This was a nice clean tube until the end. Secondly, and much harder to do- I kept it off of Ella’s mouth for its entire lifespan. I don’t know why it bothers me but I hate having toddler spit and goo on my chapstick and little girls are obsessed with the shit. I basically had to apply the chapstick under cloak and dagger…. but it was worth it.

Have you noticed I am not going into apologizing for such a vacant period of blogs? I will not apologize. Life gets busy. Sorry.

Things are going quite well here. Ella used her Jedi powers to convince me this morning to stay home because she’s sick. Turns out she is actually quite well. Honestly, I had a very little will power this morning and her cough is very sickly sounding. I’m hoping this day proves to be what she needs to actually not get sick(er).

So, question of the day. Is it quite lame to take a long hiatus from blogging and come back with one about a tube of chapstick?
