Habits

Yes, it's a crazy picture of me cutting onions with goggles on.

But that's not the point.

Look at my shoulder...

See that kitchen towel there?

This is how I work in the kitchen.

I always have a towel over my shoulder.

Always.

I have no idea how or when it started but I can't work in the kitchen without a towel on my shoulder.

This morning I am doing a lot of laundry to get packed for my trip.

Yes, I'm still doing laundry and we leave today...

that's a problem we can discuss another time.

Anyway, I noticed that Carter had left a pile of his laundry on the counter so I grabbed it all up to take it to his room.

I put his stuff away in his closet and went about my business.

Quite awhile later I reached up to grab the towel on my shoulder...

and it was a pair of Carter's pajama pants.

I am so used to the weight of something on my shoulder

and also so used to slinging things over my shoulder

that I didn't even notice I had slung his pajamas over my shoulder!

I walked around for quite some time, cleaning and packing, before I even realized I was walking around with a big pair of flannel pants hanging off of me.

I'm so glad I didn't go out to check the mail or answer the door!
