The Tater Tot and I are on a road trip to Grandma and Grandpa’s house this weekend.  As I was driving the two hours to get here, it occurred to me that my whole life could change in the blink of an eye.  One intentionally reckless or inattentive driver, road hazard, etc. could change everything.  As I realized this I also realized that there are millions of parents driving around in denial on purpose.  Personally, if I let myself indulge in the realization of all of the potential hazards in our lives, I would never leave the house.  I would be completely lost without The Tot and if anything happened to her, God forbid, I don’t know what I would do.  So I strap her in her car seat, pay close attention to everything around me, and go on in denial that anything will happen to us.  It’s just easier that way.  Otherwise I would be paralyzed with fear and that’s no way to go through life (or raise a Tot!).

On to more uplifting topics.  We went to visit a friend of The Mommy’s today that lives near Grandma and Grandpa and The Tater Tot got to meet her two kids!  It was a short visit but we had fun!  It was nice for her to be around other kids… gotta do that more often.
