And I think to myself...: March 2015

a little bit about what's here

Welcome to my brains dump station. Please don't feel obligated to read it but if you are here it's because you expressed an interest in being here or I just happen to think you're rad and want to include you in our life. Feel free to comment so that I know if anyone is reading! Not that it would stop me from blogging if no one did read, it's just nice to know who is around every once in awhile! I'll try to hit spell check before I post but I make no guarantee's! It's my blog and therefore you will find that I don't censor myself very often, especially when it comes to swear words (I'm working on it). If you don't like what I have to say, feel free to not read. I'm okay with that.

I love being a work from home mom to my one and only child, G. He is a dream that I never thought would come true. It's my goal in my life to raise him to be thoughtful, witty, respectful, gentle, sincere, creative, determined, instinctive, charming, frank, truculent, faithful, reflective, happy, active, bright, ambitious, talented, productive, decisive, kind hearted, friendly, proud, sarcastic, calm, righteous, generous, protective, dynamic, silly, adaptable, brave, honorable, gregarious, funny, fearless, outgoing, magnanimous, confident, cultured, fair and just plain amazing. It's not too tall an order, it's my life's work.

Me & the Boof

Oh what a difference 6 years makes! Time flies when you're having fun and when you're the parent of a miracle. He's everything I never knew I wanted in a son.

School-schmool

As G is reading me a story that coincides with his lesson in the long O sound he reads this.

And then says, "Oh, it must be Mr. Scott Pelley." I asked him, "Who?" "You know, Mr. Scott Pelley, with the CBS Evening News."

Yeah, must be. A lot of evening news anchors make cameos in children's books on phonics. Good thinking, son.

Then later on the story comes this part...

Oh the fun we've had with Kim. Out of the blue G will stop whatever he's doing and make this face, complete with the raised hands. "Okay, Kim, I see you," I'll say and we'll both bust out laughing.

We may have a slight case of cabin fever...

Dear Dad,

It speaks louder!

There have been times in my life when I'm in the broken category...and in the great. So I think it's just as important to pay attention to who walks with me during the broken times and who sits with me during the great times. And as a parent it sends a gigantic lesson out to G to see me walk with the broken/love the unloved/help the helpless, etc.

And I think to myself...
