Oh how I adored the day of the PINK GLOVES.*
Oh how happy it made my heart they returned.
No matter how ephemerally.
It was a PINKtastic day.**
(countdown to kinder? five more days…)
*I know it takes time to go back to old posts—but you may think me (her?) a lunatic if you missed said gloves the first time.
**The rest of the day was lived not blogged. Shocking I realize.

August 17, 2011 at 3:39 amThere has been a lot more living than blogging for me lately trying to find a happy medium!
Helen says
August 17, 2011 at 3:43 amOh my goodness I had never seen the first pink gloves post.
I love it and her and you, Miz.

I had missed the first post too.
I long to be as comfortable with who I am as the Tornado.

August 17, 2011 at 4:21 amIf any week was meant to be lived not blogged, this one is it. We only get the kindergarten send off once. 🙂
Healthy Mama says
August 17, 2011 at 4:24 amSo sweet, Carla.
She is ready for school and to be her own person.
No worries about that girl.

Morgan @ Life After Bagels says
August 17, 2011 at 7:59 amI did miss the pre-today pink gloves posts … soooooooo the jury is still out on the lunacy 😉 hehehe
Kelly @ HappyTexans says
August 17, 2011 at 8:44 amI remember that post! It made me think about what I’d like to wear if I didn’t care what others thought. Mine was a tiara and sparkly things and lights. Well, I’m coming to Austin in January to do a 5K and I’m going to wear that tiara. And a tutu. All while wearing a gorilla suit. Yep, the Gorilla Run in Austin. Can’t wait!
Love the princess with her pink gloves. I think that’s one of my favorite posts. 🙂 It’s just so her. So original. She’s not afraid to be the Tornado!
Kerri O says
August 17, 2011 at 9:09 amI think the kindercountdown is going to have ME an emotional wreck 😉
I like at the end where you say the day was lived, not blogged. Lately I’ve been trying to shift the balance on that back where it should be. My traffic doesn’t agree with me, but I’m just going to have to stop looking at the numbers and do what I can.
I always hear things you don’t even say in your posts!
Mary (A Merry Life) says
August 17, 2011 at 9:22 amSo cute.
Rita says
August 17, 2011 at 9:36 amShe is her own unapologetically herself kindergartner.
Miz says
August 17, 2011 at 9:37 amI dont know if you saw my status update yesterday Kerri but it was an AH HA! moment for me.
I wrote this afterward and was simply beyond thankful we lived and we present and I wasnt distracted by trying to take photos or jot things down.
life is just too short.
Karen@WaistingTime says
August 17, 2011 at 9:50 amI still smile thinking about the pink gloves. Wonder if they will go to kindergarten.
Stacie says
August 17, 2011 at 9:57 amI’m a nosy one 🙂
What was the update?
Stacie says
August 17, 2011 at 9:58 amOh and I also think of the Tornado each time I wash dishes LOL
Patty @ A Day in My NYC says
August 17, 2011 at 10:00 amWOW! I will forever think of her when I see PINK gloves. Actually I need to find my own “pink gloves”…so inspirational!
Miz says
August 17, 2011 at 10:01 am🙂 and I wasnt trying to be coy…just not bore you all with my life-minutia (hmmm sp?).
It was this:
I walked around today (dressed identically to the 5 yo. Her choice) feeling as though something great could happen. And then I realized something great was happening. Is happening. This is it.
and it really was a tremendous lightbulb moment for me.
Syl says
August 17, 2011 at 10:02 amOh I need to get me some pink gloves 😉
