43: date night! We got a babysitter and I put on the skirt that I made and we were off to a wedding for the evening.

But the thing that really makes me happy is this ball of fur:

I got her when I was single and living alone, and now she’s playing with my toddler. This ball of fur has made me happy, sad, mad, worried, and taught me how to be a mom. She lays in bed with me when I’m not feeling well and is the first person to greet me when I walk through the door. A couple of weeks ago I found a lump on her back and I’ve been too scared of what the vet would say to get her checked out. Today she peed all over the couch while she was sleeping and now I have no choice but to take this munchkin in and see what they say. Hoping for something not serious because Lucas loves her as much as I do. When I get him up in the morning it’s “dog!” and he giggles and points at Molly (or as he says “mah-ee!”). She lays with me when I’m not feeling well, so it’s only right to return the favor. I loved my fur baby first.
