Today I awoke feeling like my head was a giant pumpkin. The girls each got up, grabbed a book and snuggled in bed to read while I slowly emerged from my stupor. (I think I'm fighting something.)
Eventually we got ourselves together to go to the farmers' market. As I grabbed the bags, Alan looked at me, made a face, and said, "You sure you want to go like that?" I'd pulled a skull-cap down over my unwashed hair and was wearing sweats.
I looked at Alan incredulously. "What?" then back at the girls, "You girls don't mind what I'm wearing, do you?" They both shook their heads no. Then I added, "I'm not going to embarrass you or anything, am I?"
I looked at Evelyn, who was smiling warmly and still shaking her head no.
I looked at Amelia, who also shook her head no, then added, "But you'll embarrass yourself."
