They always DO that!!! Kids are so self focused! I always know I’m in trouble when one of them says, “Mom. why do you always….”
And they’re standing over my shoulder right now! I am shooing them away. It is a bad idea to teach your children to read. We know you work hard and that you are a great Mama.

Thank you. Thank you for one last Circus laugh before I head into the hospital (aka land of no computer time for a couple days). I literally laughed quite loudly in the kitchen here. Derek was all, “What’s so funny?”

Kids have such a way of putting things!

Congrats on your very very productive week and I sure hope the energy boost continues in the upward direction as you head deeper into the second trimester. How is it that other people’s pregnancies go by so fast? Geesh, I feel like this last week for me has been FOREVER and here you are flying through the first trimester!

(From my vantage point anyways…)

Have a great day dear!

What a productive week you had, though! I always find it interesting how much more I get done when my husband is otherwise occupied. Not that he is in the way at all! Maybe just more that my focus is different.

Too funny – he does say the funniest things. And they only see a small part of the big picture.
It reminds me of ourselves – We can do alot of good things and work hard, but one small sin can take us down. Thanks be to God for sending Christ to save us!

that is hilarious. i think it’s funny the teacher wanted to make sure you knew he said that. i’m assuming it’s because she knew he wasn’t telling the whole truth. either that or she was giving you the heads up that she was planning to call social services when she got home. ha! either way, revel in your clean car and laundry. because i bet Scott was pretty darn impressed!

it was one evening. you gotta take care of all your kids, even the one who isn’t breathing air.
my oldest says things like that, too. it does bring me down an notch, but you can’t let it get you all the way down. you are a great mom!

Kids remember the funniest things. If you ask the kids what dad does all day they say “talk on the phone and send emails”. Of course, that is all they get to see/hear from him during the work day. I asked them what I do all day and my 3 year old said “work.” Too funny.

I’m amazed you’ve been so productive. Good for you. I need to get productive

Oh man, even though that comment humbled you, it sounds like you had a great productive week. Two things, first I know that my van looks like yours, if not worse, secondly last year in preschool Ella brought home a Father’s Day craft that was All About Dad. In answer to the question, What does your daddy do?, Ella responded, take care of us while mommy rests. After today you can probably imagine how mortified I felt -it was totally the result of a couple long days where I escaped to my room to have some alone time in the evening, only to find out through this craft that Matt kept the kids from following me by saying that mommy needed to rest. So I feel your pain!!! And hope YOU are feeling better!
