I have apparently been slacking at this whole blogging thing I had going. Sorry to my dedicated followers who don't actually "follow", but depend on my children's humor and escapades to keep them going. The last two weeks have been hell, so I'll do my best to keep up from now on. <3 ya!
This morning Alyx wasn't feeling so hot, so she missed school. Luckily my sister, Phoebe, is a nurse and only works weekends. She agreed to let Alyx come visit today - thank you for that one sis! On the way there, Alyx is telling me about how she was having a conversation with some kids at school about which parent they are scared of. Alyx's response was her mom. I was a little taken back by her response at first, but then she said a friend of hers told her, "Alyx your mom is awesome. I wish she was my mom." This did make my heart melt (especially considering the source); however, Alyx proceeds to say, "She is nice, but if she's mad everyone better watch out." My only response was to laugh. Inside I was thinking FANTASTIC! I've managed to turn into my mom. That's not a bad thing by the way. I have to admit I started to feel pretty good about myself and glad to know my kids still think I'm cool, even if they are "scared" of me. I'll bet their dad doesn't realize how much of a pushover they think he is, but I'll keep that one to myself!
Thank you mom for teaching me to be the best parent I can be. My kids still think I'm cool...even the teenager! I've succeeded....so far!
Happy Labor Day Weekend to all my friends & family. Wish me luck tomorrow in my 5K at Kauffman to support Autism Awareness. Praying I do well in the race, especially running next to my baby sister..YIKES!
