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:)
