My Hats

Hats.

We all wear them.

Some keep the same one almost all day, and then put a different one on when they return home.

Some wear several...and sometimes all at once.

{If your hat-less...it probably means you live alone curled up in bed 24/7 AND have no

 contact with another soul your entire life. }

I like most of my hats.

I have a teacher hat, 

and a counsellor hat,

the cook hat, 

cleaning (helmet), 

and even a cheering hat for football and hockey games.

Sometimes I have to pull out my referee hat...but lately not as often.

Then there are MY hats...which I couldn't quite survive without. 

They're ALL mine...and I only put them on for me;

my swim cap, 

running hat, 

reading hat, 

bike helmet,

and walking alone hat.

I even have a daydreaming hat....

(although I haven't had time to wear that much lately!)

THEN, there are the hats......

well....

let's just say I put them on- 

but they don't always fit too well.

Like todays' hats.

There were several.

I didn't mind the cooking, teaching, and even the chauffeur hat.

BUT- 

when it came time for the Horse 4-H hat where I had to drive this:

(I only hit a gate today:(

...and the  Beef 4H hat for these guys:

(well...and I guess for my oldest 3 kids)

...I don't feel quite right.

They just aren't me.

Oh I try to make them fit.

And I so try NOT to complain when I have to wear them.

{ But I'm sorry....I do like it so very much when I can take those ones off. 

If only for a day or 2.}

I sometimes wish all hats fit me....and I could feel comfortable in every one.

{Although sometimes....don't you think a person can have one too many hats?}

Don't you ever wish you could shelve a few...especially the ones that aren't fitting and you wonder if they ever will?

{Are you sporting a hat or two you really wish you could put on a shelf...or pass along to someone else?}

I guess wearing odd shaped fits can be a good thing in a way.

They must help us grow....(hopefully not causing just a larger head!)

And IF I kept the same hat on day after day I may get a tad bored.

I wouldn't want to wear the same style day in and out either.

~~~

Regardless...after days like today of wearing several....

(and feeling a tad bit crazy!)

......my favorite time of day 

are the times almost about 

now.

When the only hat I have to wear....

is my nightcap:)
