February 2011
Alyssa was asking me to play a game with her. And even though I had been playing with her for the past thirty minutes, I still felt guilty as I said that I had to study now. Seeing she was disappointed, I tried to explain to her that I had so many things to do that didn't get done while we had been sick. She looked at me and said, "if you have to many things to do, you need to do just one at a time."

After having taken a rare moment yesterday to pamper myself, I put my freshly washed hair into a french braid so that I would be ready for whatever came at me that day. I sat down to my computer to finish working (hopefully) on my final paper for one of my classes this semester. Alyssa looks at me and says, "Can I go with you to the store?" I look at her, a confused look on my face. "Baby I am not going to the store, I have to work on homework." She stares back at me. And without blinking says it all---"But you took a shower!?!?!"
