"Mom, when are you going to have fun with me?" Mahala asked. "You never throw me on the bed or tickle me much anymore."
"I'm sorry, Mahala," I said. "I can't do that anymore. I've decided to be a good mom."
"Huh! That's what a good mom does!" said Mahala.
"No," I answered. "A good mom yells at her kids all the time and makes them do all the work."
"Then when I grow up, I'm going to be the worst mom in the whole world," she said. "And I don't think you are a very good mom either."
Words of love and affirmation.

I'm not a good mom on either scale, at least not right now.
I didn't realize you'd started blogging again while I was out of town. I had to mark all my RSS feeds 'read' when I came back because they'd 'burped' and it said they all had millions of updates and I couldn't weed through them all. I almost missed your new posts. I'm glad to have you back, I've missed you a lot.

I will count it as one of the highlights of my life if I EVER get to meet Mahala face to face. I love this little girl through your posts! :)
