Dear Kate,

Here is my conversation with C on the way to school this morning:

C: Mom, can we make cookies tonight?
Me: Um, maybe.  We'll have to see.  We might have some other things to get done.
C: Ok.  (pause)  We can make cookies when you're stressed.

Yep, this kid gets me.

If you couldn't guess from the lack of a post here, I'm sure this conversation snippet makes it quite clear just how well I'm doing these days.

I am pro-desserts-when-stressed,
Bora
