oh be careful little...

...mouth what you say for little ears are listening!!

yesterday, princess was very excited to have her bff come home from preschool with her. when we arrived at drop-off said bff's mom was coming back out of the school . she had a big smile on her face and i said to her,

"why are you so happy this morning?" now obviously i know the answer to this...she is going to have the entire day to herself and will be enjoying lunch with a friend and no children!! don't we all know how quickly that would bring a smile to our face!!

she replies, "i don't know, i'm just happy!" with a smile on her face.

i turn to princess and say, "why do you think __________ is so happy this morning?"

now i expected all sorts of interesting answers but listen to what i got...

"because she gets to spend the day all alone!" and off she went to her class!!!

OUCH!!! obviously my enthusiasm for days alone has been revealed to her. the truth hurts here....hopefully she doesn't see that i don't want to be with her...because i love being with her. but those rare days we have the day to ourselves...oh boy do i cherish those!!!

so be careful, moms, little ears are listening and understanding way more than what i thought they would!!!

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
