You need to do like Sara, and obsessively lay out your clothes the night before, down to socks, barrettes and/or headband. This follows asking me politely to check the weather, so she can plan appropriately.
Too cute. How old is she now?
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

Because books.
She's six, sj. And obsessed with her clothes. It's adorable and ... wearying at the same time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I overslept, but not by enough that I couldn't have made up the time if I had tried.
I was glad to learn this morning that I can oversleep some and still make my ride to work. Good one!

Six!
I wish mine cared at all about the weather. Or about wearing socks so her feet don't stink. Maybe Thomas was dumbfounded by the foot stench.

At least your not having huge fights with her in the morning to just pick something and get dressed, right?

You need to do like Sara,
I wanna be Sara when I grow up. I'm horrible about planning clothing.
13 year old boy version of this is trowing on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, mom kicking him back to put on clean jeans, putting on socks and shoes, then standing just outside the front door to gauge the weather. It has to be actively raining or snowing for him to grab anything heavier than a sweatshirt.

Oh, it's true, sj. I'm really not complaining. But every once in a while she'll lose her little mind and want to pick out Monday's clothes for school on, like, Friday afternoon. Take a pill, kid.

I would like to put Sara in charge of my outfit planning, please.

You should see her if I bring her shopping with me. "I think this would look lovely on you, Mommy," she says as she pulls out, like, a sequined tube top. It's hysterical.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I wish the Universe would lay off for a bit. We lost a cousin suddenly last night. He was 50. Died in his sleep. My sister who was closest to him is a wreck this morning. Mom's still in the hospital and not sure when she's going to get out.
I'm going to have to go to Indiana soon.
