“What Are You Thinking About?”
Sohaila is on the sofa with me. It is 11:37 pm. This seems to happen a lot.
I have had a fairly rough day. Interpersonally. I posted on my twitter earlier…”Relationships suck”, to which I was messaged by a facebook friend that I should be happy I have 358 facebook friends.
*sigh*
So that had nothing to do with anything.
I just looked at Sohaila. Her eyes are heavy but her mind is deep in thought.
Our conversation follows…
Me – “Baby. Go to sleep.”
Her – “I can’t daddy.”
Me – “Why baby? What are you thinking about?”
Her – “Um…Well…I miss Riverside”
Me – “I miss Riverside too baby. What do you miss about Riverside?”
Her – “I miss my house and Madison”
Me – “I miss my house and Madison too baby”
Her – “Daddy…?”
Me – “Yea baby?”
Her – “Why do you keep copying me?”
I just got owned by my 5 year old.

RAIN IT DOWN
I’m thinking about the stress that I carry in my back from everything I have to do before Christmas. So I put some soothing Shane and Shane on and tried to relax.
I can’t quit thinking about how at the end of the semester when I get my grades, there is going to be a big fat B. I came so close to graduating college with a 4.0 (I graduate in May). I am also freaking out at the thought that I graduate in May and need to find a real job.
aww. baby girl.
yeah…. you got owned.
and i think about too much. i am in counseling for it.
Aww! So cute! But yeah, you did get owned.
What I am thinking about … you can tell Sohaila that I’m copying her too. After a great week with family back in California for Thanksgiving – I’m back in Tucson missing home, comfort, friends, family. Comforted only slightly by the fact that Jesus has called us here . I guess I need to confess that and pray it comforts me more and more.
I know how she feels (about the missing, not the copying). I don’t miss Riverside so much anymore; just my parents who used to live there. But I still miss LA lots at times.
PS — Wanna make your Facebook “friends” go up by one?
I’ll send you a request today.
