Today, while driving half-an-hour away to pick up the test results from Owen's audiology appointment, it occurred to me that I was now, for-sure, no-doubt a parent. Because, unsexily, running errands such as these has become my raison d'etre. That's what moms do: doctor's visits, scheduling conferences, looking for tutors, filling out permission slips. I'm glad my Mum did all these things for me when I was little. I hope Owen will someday be likewise appreciative.
On the way home, I stopped by DSW. I think I just purchased the perfect parent purse. Permission slip sized, is it not?
