Today's conversations


It started off with you Moses, waking me up at 810. Thats 40 min late. Then it was a constant "brush your hair, get your shoes, eat your waffles, brush your hair, get your backpack, please get dressed" etc etc. We were right.on.time for school though. (miracle) Then I came home and took a 2 hour nap with your baby sister kicking me the whole time. It was so nice. Then the fun really started. I got a call from Meadowbrook "Hi Mom. Um, I was playing wall ball and I lost my shoe and cant find it, can you bring me my tennis shoes"? Grabbed them and went out the door. Out of all the days to be on time, your teacher decided to let you out right at 1130, I arrived to the school at 1135 to see you standing out by the road waiting for me Moses. You said "mom, mom. mom, where were you? I keep asking myself" I appologized profusely and we ran in to give your sister her shoes. The truth came out "Mom, dont get mad. We were playing wall ball with other kids, and they wouldnt give us the ball, so riley said, "I need a shoe" so I gave her mine and we threw it at them. Then they threw it over the fence and I couldnt get it back...are you mad?" No, not mad. Lesson learned I suppose, if you want to keep your shoes, dont take them off. We got back in the car and Moses, you told me about your interesting day "I was playing in the sandbox, and this mean boy took my shovel right out of my hand and would not give it back! It was so mean. I even said give it back I had it first and he wouldnt! then someone said I was a girl because I wouldnt jump on the trampline" (mom said) "well, next time someone says that, just say, thats ok, I know who I am and walk away" (moses) "no mom, Im not saying that" "well what would you rather do?" "I'd rather kick him in the nuts, you good with that?" Im still laughing. Then, you played on your scooters till the sun went down, and now you are soundly asleep in bed. What a day! Raising you kids never gets boring.
