A day like every other day... almost

I stayed busy today with Christmas chores, like wrapping and boxing up for the mail. It's good to have that over with so that I know everyone will have their gifts in time for Christmas.

Caitlin pierced her ear before going to school today. I saw her walk out of the kitchen with an ice cube but I just thought she wanted it to eat. What happened to the days when getting ready for school meant taking a shower, getting dressed and putting on makeup. But now it's, "I guess I'll pierce my ear real quick".
