Minor Details

This morning was busy. Among the normal Sunday morning activities, I had gotten up early to take my sister and her two children to the airport to return home after several days' visit at our house. Then there was the making of beds, ironing dresses, minor argument with pre-teen about appropriate Sunday morning attire, curling hair, removing greasy play make-up from 3 year old's face, preparing breakfast, finding something to wear myself, finding socks and shoes, vacuuming the family room (I know, I shouldn't have added that into the mix, but I thought I had extra time!) finding keys, and finally buckling into the car to head to church.

As I turned the key in the ignition and shifted the car into reverse, Gwen's little voice called from the back seat, "No panties?"

In all the activities of the morning, I had dressed my daughter in a cute spring dress, curled her hair, put her socks and shoes on her... but had completely forgotten about underwear.

At least she reminded me before we got to church.
