Gifty and more

So the reason I started this blog was because I wanted to participate in Gifty.
Well this morning I was thinking about all my old friends back in Houston and how bad I am with correspondence. So then I started to think that instead of sending other bloggers a present (still like the idea) that I should send my friends a package. So I will start off with that and once I've done that to my satisfaction then I will join gifty. I'm feeling pretty good about it because it kills two guilty feelings with one stone (bad blogger that I am and bad friend)

Okay so now for the more. There are many Mom's that I hang with and some of them I find to be a bit over protective. (In my mind) I find myself critiquing them for their over-protective behaviors. Well yesterday my dd got her hand stuck in the elevator door. Actually, it was between the elevator door and the wall and it scare the crap out of me. I managed to yank her hand out after freaking and pushing the alarm. She was fine but I was a wreck the rest of the day. Boy it is stressful being a mom. I had flashbacks last night of my mom running out of the house when she heard any of us crying.... a sort of terrified fierceness ...... Sorry mom!
