I was in the restroom, putting on makeup as we were about to search for a new heating element for our dryer. The fact that I currently don't have a working dryer is not what had me in tears.
With an unsure voice, Gracie says, "Mom, I want you to see something." My heart sinks as my mommy imagination flashes scenes of counters smeared with toothpaste, water all over the floor, rashes or boo-boos that need attending or an art project that went a bit... erroneous.

I open the bathroom door and she quickly slips the video camera in my hand... and runs away. A bit puzzled, I push play. Sometimes a mom should be warned as to what's coming next.
Then my tear-ducts go from 0 to 100 in no-time-flat after I realize this was not a confessional, but... Well... you'll see...
{She gave me her permission to post her vlog.}
Just when I wonder if what we're telling them is getting through.
And... our search of a heating element fell cold. So, I guess I can cry about that now too.
If you need me, you might find me in a box of Kleenex.
