Darla's Mom

Happy 2015.
This is the first time Darla is old enough to understand what New Year is.

We are watching the parade because "you are a So Cal Girl", I’ve told her.

It feels like negative 5 million degrees outside. She just asked why we aren’t sitting on the route.

I showed her photos of the Belknap/Shores and their Girl Scouts sitting in the route and now,10 minutes into being awake this year: she is disappointed in me.

I’m under 3 quilts and blankets and snug in my bed.

Kid, this is only the beginning of your dissatisfaction.
