My boys: Do you know how we know you are back in Mom mode when we get home from somewhere?

Me: How?

The boys: Coz your tooth comes out and your pajama pants go on

I was thinking about that as I was getting ready in the morning and someone messaged me about the significance of singleness post I shared on Facebook and in my head I said, “Lord, please send me a man that will love me toothless and all.”

And as I brushed my teeth I heard His still small voice whisper, “I love you like that.” And here come the waterworks (gosh darn! I keep telling God I’m a thug, why He gotta make me a cry baby? )
