obsession

I typed "obsession" into google because i wasn't sure if I spelled it right.

The definition popped up:

the domination of one's thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, desire, etc

Yep, I'm Obsessed

A Rough Day

Last night I said to the boys: "Ok time for bed guys. It's been a long day." Thinking to myself that it has been a long day for ME, not necessarily for them.

"yeah Mom it has been a long day. I had a really long, rough day." Jack says in a sad little voice. "It was such a hard day. Really tough and a rough day."

Jack is not a complainer and he LOVES school so I am a bit concerned. I ask him in my kindest most you-can-tell-mommy-anything voice "Why was it a rough day kiddo?"

"Well. (big drawn out sigh) it was dwissiling (drizzling) off and on...and off and on all day. When it was time for recess it was ON. So I had a really rough day today."

"So, you didn't get to go outside for recess today because it was raining? And that was your really rough day?"

Exasperated sigh, "YES!"

Oh to be a kindergartner again.

Chase and Jack in Jack's school cafeteria

I took Chase to Jack's school today to eat lunch with him. Chase was so excited. As we pulled into the parking lot i saw a prime space up front and made to take it when I saw that it was labeled "principal".

"Oh principal!" I exclaimed as I threw it into reverse, "we aren't the principal."

Down the row I spied 2 more spots and zoomed down and into it but, "Ah, Counselor, Secretary We aren't the counselor or the secretary either! Gotta find another spot."

The next available spot was out in the boonies. "Here's one we can park in." I exclaimed as we pulled in.

"Does it say Mormon?" Chase asked from the back.

"What did you say, Chase?"

"Does this parking spot say for Mormons mom?"

HA Ha!! "Yes, this is a great spot for us mormons Chase."

I am so glad to be a Mom, I absolutely love the funny things my kids say. I have been going to lots of various Dr apts for myself lately and on all the forms with the occupation blank I always fill in mother. It sure makes me feel good to know that my full time job in life is to raise these little ones. I've gotten quite a few comments about it from the Dr staff. I always say, "Its the best job in the world!"
