So, last night we were all very tired after an extremely fun afternoon family BBQ. We put the girls to bed and went to the couch to watch TV. There was nothing on because it was Sunday night at 11:00, so we watched 2 episodes of Cops, and shuffled off to bed. Early this morning I awoke to little 7 year old footsteps and then when I opened my eyes there was a tiny tooth in my face. I squinted, because I couldn’t tell what it was at first, then OH CRAP I FREAKING FORGOT TO BE THE TOOTH FAIRY LAST NIGHT!

I honestly felt about as big as that tiny little tooth, and I told her that maybe the TF couldn’t see it because it was so small, or maybe she took the day off because it is Memorial Day. Ha! More likely, the tooth fairy is a very tired mommy who just plain forgot because the haven that we call our bed was calling her name. (and I rarely get more than 3 hours of sleep at a time) What the hell do I do now? I’ll just hope my child doesn’t figure out that her mom is the one who has been enabling her childhood delusions all this time! I really want a couple more years of make believe.
