All is fine with Mike, me and the kids.... I can't tell you the number of times something happens and I think, "I've got to write that down in my journal." Yet, my mind and life is currently too cluttered to actually come here and do that.
There was an explanation to that cluttered mind problem I'm experiencing, but tonight I decided to delete that part of the entry.
::::It was here:::::
First time I've ever done that.... For those who commented, thank you. My Mom made mention of that part of the entry, and well, although I'm always happy to hear that someone is reading my journal, I began to feel funny about it. Not because she read it, but because she made a few valid points and so......... that part of the entry is forever gone. Wouldn't it be great to have a delete button in real life? : )
A few recent funnies....
Around Halloween we were in the car talking about bats. Sammi pipes up from the backseat, "I know about bats, they are not turtles." Mike & I paused and said, "Right Sam, they're not turtles." Sammi again says, "Nooooo, they're not turtles!" Again I answered "of course not, they're bats" Then a ::::big sigh:::: from Sammi. And in an exasperated little voice she says...."No, you know animals that only come out at night. They are not turtles." ::::lightbulb goes on:::: "Oooooooooh, nocturnal" : )
We've been fighting colds around here since October. Coughing and snotty noses have become a regular part of life lately. As I was walking Mikey into preschool one morning. I noticed a dry booger on his cheek. When I stopped to try to flick it off, Mikey said, "Mom, don't worry about that. It's just new skin growing."
Now the ironic thing about that is.... Mikey believes that dried boogers on his cheek is new skin. But already he is doubtingthe existence of Santa. What? Yup, it's true. A few weeks ago, Mikey walked up to Mike and said, "Dad, does Santa really come in our house and bring us toys on Christmas?" Mike says, "Of course Mikey. Who do you think did?" Mikey said very matter of factly, "I thought maybe it was you and Mom" Before Mike could even reply, Mikey turned around and walked away.
Speaking of Christmas, can you believe it's only 25 days away? Despite all that's on my mind, the Christmas spirit has hit me early this year. I've been listening to Christmas carols for the past two weeks....
Now if I could just get motivated and start shopping.
