They Complete Me

These guys melt me...

...and I am so blessed to be wife and mom to them.

Today I am sitting in a beautiful hotel room...relaxing, reading, blogging, watching TV, sleeping...all because they know me. They know that I need time away to refresh...to have a couple of days with no responsibility...no one needing me for anything...no deadlines to meet...no house to clean or laundry to do...nothing...but getting filled up again.

So thank you boys...most especially Steve because you knew the need and you are demonstrating to the boys what sacrificial love is all about.

I love you.

Quotes of the Day

We had quite a bit of time in the car today, and that usually leads to some weird interesting conversations among the boys. I give you...Quotes of the Day.

Caleb had his bare feet upon the console between the front seats and Cody made the statement "Caleb, your feet are really soft."

Caleb: Thank you.

Cody: That's not good.

Me: Yes, it is.

Cody: I don't want my feet to be soft. I want them to be rough so one day when I'm trapped in the Amazon they will protect me.

Huh?

Cody: I can just sit down and write without thinking what I'm going to write next. It just comes to me.

Caleb: That's not good.

Cody: That's good, right mom?

Me: Depends on what comes out.

Cody: Magic.

Did I happen to tell you that Cody's end of year writing project was entitled "The Three Magical Unicorns" and told the story of how three magical unicorns carried donuts on their horns? Yeah, I thought so.

I am Still Alive

Well hello internet...my long lost bloggy friend. I have missed you...have you missed me? Saying that the last month or so (has it been that long?) has been a little busy is about the biggest understatement of the year...so my updating has been on the back burner...and I'm not quite ready to post at length. But I'll be back...soon. In a few days, I am going away (but not far) for a little trip by myself (a gift my hubby and punks gave me for Mother's Day) to rest, read, write, think, rest, etc. I can imagine that there will be some catching up on my blog during that time...since I am dying to get some things "on the books."

I'll see you in a few...after I check into my hotel and sleep for days hours.
