The Squirrel Lady

Yep, that's me now. I'm the squirrel lady. How embarrassing.

I couldn't help it. The boys were so excited about seeing a squirrel on our deck, I just wanted it to come a little closer so that they could observe it. And I figured that since I wasn't giving it peanuts in a shell, where it can bury them all over neighbors' yards, then it's ok, right?

So the squirrel has been making frequent visits to our deck. In my defense, I don't feed it every time, only for special occasions, like when cousin Judah visited us. And I found out that my 70-year-old neighbor has also been feeding the squirrel...in her house! Yep, she lets it come into their back room and eat off their carpet. So, I could be crazier. Can you tell that I'm trying to justify myself right now?

In the end, I finally understand the phrase, "You'll do anything for your children."

Even become the squirrel lady.
