Stinky Feet, Short Term Memory Loss and The Day It Happened

I've been sitting here watching a video on facebook. It is an amazing video and I praise God for that woman's life and how she is honoring Him with it. But that's not really my point.

I'm sitting here and I get a whiff of something. It's not a good whiff. It stinks. And apparently it's my feet. I don't normally have stinky feet, so this is a surprising discovery. As I've been thinking back to what could have caused this foul anomalie, I retrace my day to the dog park. And the mud. And coercing Bo to vacate a deep puddle before reclining in it. Maybe it's the mud. I guess it could just be my feet and that I wore closed toed shoes all day, but I'm going to go with the mud. I didn't smell them when I changed into my flops to go to the dog park. Maybe it's my flops. I am currently debating whether to sniff my floppy footwear... but I think I'm going to pass and depend on my original hypothesis rather than collecting conclusive data.

You may be quite stumped/perplexed/regretful that I have shared this information with you, but there is a reason. You see, I think of wonderful, intelligent, inspirational, creative topics throughout my day that I should blog about. And then I get here. And I stare at my screen, willing it pop out a post-it note of my mental meanderings from the day. But it doesn't. And so I sit here thinking back in my day, striving for just one of the brilliant things I had to say earlier. As you can see, brilliant wasn't quite there.

Another road block that I hit is that my entire day has to do with stories about children. Generally there is no problem with that, except that my stories are about children who for one reason or another have a connection with the Special Education Department. Which brings in some confidentiality commitments and concerns being that I live in a small town and people know who I work with. So, many times I have a great story I'd love to share, but I just don't feel I should put it out there... just in case.*

It happened today! Yes, it was wonderful, blissful even! I was giddy all morning. Today is the first day since I've been pregnant that I have not been utterly exhausted and/or feeling sick!!! It's been fantastic! I was cheery. I haven't been able to describe myself that way in a long time!

So here's to a fantastic day of energy, short term memory loss and stinky feet! (the stinky feet will soon be taken care of)

*I feel it is fair warning to alert you here that once I have my baby in April, with no confidentiality concerns, there may be multiple posts/day. After such a long time of sporatic posting I don't want this to damage your health.
