Autumn made an early entrance this year.
I love Autumn, but I am not quite ready for it. After all, Summer didn't arrive until July, and even at that, it never brought with it those long, unbearably hot days that leave you yearning for the crisp mornings that accompany Autumn.
This early Autumn showing means that we need to bundle ourselves up on our morning walk to the bus-stop. As I was searching Naomi's dresser this morning for pants that actually fit her, it occurred to me that she has outgrown her 12 month clothes. Clothes that, up until two months ago, hung loose and long. She's finally growing! I had been celebrating this fact for about five minutes when I decided that I also needed to get dressed. As I grabbed my pants and started to pull them on, something else occurred to me...
Do you know the old saying, "like mother, like daughter?' I had no idea how horribly true that statement really was until this morning when I realized that coincidentally, I have also outgrown my pants...only this time, it's neither cute nor worthy of celebration.
Signed,
Pudgy in Idaho
