I love my child, but...

I love my son. He is the center of my world, but there are days when he drives me nuts. He follows me around the house and just keeps chattering. I need a few minutes of alone-time. I need a few minutes of quiet-time. Just a few...

Sushi

How many 12-yr old kids eat Sushi? He wanted to go to a local restaurant. I took him. He chose the rainbow roll - seaweed, rice, raw tuna, avocado, and raw salmon. He LOVED it. OMG! I am thrilled. At 12, you have no fear and no pre-judgements. I fight the "texture" issue but he doesn't. He'll train me yet! :)

Emotional struggle

I am struggling and it bothers me. I am starting to doubt a lot of things. Will my son be okay? Is my mom fit to keep watching him? Is she a part of his behavior? Am I responsible for all this? Is this all my fault, ultimately?

Don't try this at home...

Don't try to dunk french fries in a ketchup bottle... And don't let the kids see you do it. They will want to know why you're pouring all the. ketchup into a bowl!

Swimming Injury

Did you know it was possible to dislocate an appendage while at swim lessons? From recent experience... Yes... Yes it is. Just wondering what the ER visit will cost!

Quality time with my son

This week, I had four days off... from both jobs. I took him to swimming lessons, we went out for breakfast, we went for lunch (he wanted to try sushi), we put up the pool, we grilled out for dinner, etc. He actually told me that he enjoyed having me home with him. It made me feel so good to know he appreciates me.

A Mom Moment

When I left work last night, I am at home until Monday morning. This is my normal vacation time, while my mom is busy. My son and I went to breakfast, swimming, shopping, made homemade pizza, and got our pool set up. The best moment was when he gave me a big hug and said "I'm glad to have you home." I felt so good. Awwwwwwww.

I am my mother's daughter

It's official...

I am my mother's daughter. As I sat here this morning, trying to relax, I suddenly decided there were things I had to do. I had to clean out my closet and then organize the stuff for my business I am re-applying myself to.

I find that I am trying to do so many things, for everyone else.

Let me give you an idea... working two jobs, going back to college, teaching sunday school, re-starting my business, trying to put give-away packets together for an upcoming convention, helping my son with his robotics team, blogging, etc.

Did you know that you cannot put more than 24 hours in a day?

As I think about everything I am doing, I am tired... but doing so much... for so many others... and not taking time for myself... I see my mom in myself... because that is how she is.
