Weird

"Mom, you look weird," says the second born William.



I'm wearing a dew-rag today. It's tied underneath my hair like a huge headband, a bit like a babushka. Anyway, I used to wear it like this in my earlier years. And I wanted something to keep my hair out of my face today because I'm going to help Lizzie & Brandon clean their new house.

Will said I looked "weird" because I believe he never sees me like this. I am pretty plain in my style - pajamas pants, t-shirts, glasses and flip flops. He most likely didn't have the words to say, "Mom, you look different."

So, William, you will be my inspiration. An inspiration to look "weird" a lot more - to get out of my comfort zone of pjs and t-shirts and get more exciting in my approach at life! Will, thanks for what you said. And little do you know that the yellow and orange rain boots I wear around the yard, which you think are normal, are a bit weird. Yet I have confidence in myself and don't care what others think. I pray my boys will have a style all their own and be confident in who they are also.
