Today, I saw (close up!) a baby owl. It was gray and furry looking with its feathers all downy, and it was opening and closing its eye like my 2year old does when he's really drowsy.

It was one of the most adorable sights I have EVER seen. So, next to this cool iced chocolate drink I've discovered at our local drive-thru, I now have a new reason to live.

Cute baby owls.

I am not kidding. I SQUEALED in the car on the way home. Had my 3year old asking 'What did you do that for?' And in my very grown up way, I explained that sometimes, we just feel so happy after seeing something so... awesome... that we just have to squeal, or our heads will explode.

Had said 3yearold laughing though. Which was another good point to my day.

This was before I forgot snacks I had signed up to bring for my mom's play group. And the recipes for the recipe share. And lost my keys between the sign out at my son's preschool and my car (which were situated a whopping 10 feet from each other), which led my hubby to having to spend his lunch break unlocking my car and helping me 'find' the keys the whopping ten feet I misplaced them from said car.

But, really, all in all, a good day. I have compromised with 2yr old regarding his binky use (which is to say, I allow him to use it as much as he wants, and he allows me to not listen to him scream all day. But, to his credit, he does have some MONSTER canines coming in), so he's been less apt to bark at me (kid really has an affinity to dog-talk right now), and did I mention I saw a real live baby owl today?

Awesome.
