Fortune Cookies

Yesterday we got Chinese for dinner and of course a fortune cookie.  Madison's fortune was along the lines of your most desired wish will come true.   I remember the word desired because she asked what it meant.  I asked her, what do you wish for more than anything? She told me she wanted to move to purple at school.  The behavior chart at school is purple (over and above), green (doing what you should), and yellow and red are not good.  

We do encourage her to get to purple and talk about what she could do to get there.  Well, today Madison was the first in her class to move to purple!  So, funny.  She got into the mini van at car circle yelling at the top of her lungs "I GOT TO PURPLE TODAY!".  I am so proud of her.  I keep telling her to let her little light shine.  She was exceptional today during show and tell.  Which was bring something that was your favorite color, can you guess?  PURPLE.  She told us that she had to wait patiently because her turn was near the end.  That is why her teacher moved her up to purple because she was so good during show and tell.  

The cutest part of the day is after we got home she whispered to me "my fortune came true". Okay, I don't believe in fortune cookies or all that jazz but how cute is that? I completely forgot about the fortune cookie until she whispered to me.  Mark got her a happy meal for dinner because she shined today.  She loves school and has been a great kid the last three weeks so a little surprise seemed appropriate.

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

Queen of Google

Day in and day out I am frustrated with myself because I didn't take the time to write.  I want to write but I find myself not writing anything but thinking about writing.  I love to read and make time for reading but I find myself often just thinking about writing and not actually writing.   I am not sure what will ever motivate me to write daily.  Being a mom to three tween/teens in a huge job.  Especially when one is being homeschooled this year.  I find myself saying things like, when the dishes are done or when the laundry is done then I will write.  Just let me check all this school work first and then I will write.  When it is quiet, I will write.  This could be why I never write.  It is never quiet in this house.   Today I have had enough.  I am not about new year resolutions but I am going to make the commitment today to write daily.  I ideally would like to write not just for the blog but novel writing. ...
