Sticks/Rocks in my purse...

Ahhh yes... Am I the only mother of a little boy, who has found themselves with sticks in their purse? When you are up to your elbows in raising a boy things are... How shall we put this?... Chaotic...(That is not a strong enough word) and if ur body is not running wide open trying to contain him, your mind is racing at full throttle attempting to contemplate his "next move", in order to minimize the amount of destruction that lies ahead. Yes this is the thing we call life and to be be absolutely transparent with you.. Can I confide that I have at times (ok, most of the time for goodness sakes) been in a place of utter confusion and overwhelmation? (That was a Marleneism). Now this is all internal, mind you, just so as we understand each other. Most of the time I can appear to be cool as a cucumber externally. It is inside that is a mess. Of course, it would be so much easier just to spank our kids into submission but I have to be the one who can sleep at night, so judge me if you want, but I have chosen not to hit another human being. In so doing I have also chosen the consequences. Anyway, where were we, oh yeah, sticks in my purse... Now, after I have, in great detail, told you my life story in the aforementioned (well now that is a big word isn't it? not sure if I used it correctly but u get my drift) text let me simply say, why should I be surprised to look in my purse and find sticks? It seemed so bizarre to see that, but it is perfectly the norm for me and my son... To appease him, I often put sticks, rocks, grass, weeds, bugs, butterfly carcuses in my purse when we are away from the house and he sees something in nature and wants to keep it. Afterall he doesn't carry a purse. Makes perfect sense to me.. This is who I am. These are the tales of my life. Thank you God.

Countdown to New Moon Premiere

At Cracker Barrel enjoying the $25 gift certificate that Mad gave me for my birthday. Just ordered and waiting for our food. Since this is a great event and we have waited a year for this movie we decided to go all out and ordered sirloin steaks. She chose 2 baked potatoes with hers and well done and tea. I chose medium steak, dumplins, beans, mac and cheese and tea. This is a special night.

I don't want to get rabies...

My wheelchair hates carpet and loves 2 eat it and pull it away from it's carpet nails. The threshold into 2 my room is particularly sharp when u step on it. My 12 year just got jabbed with the spikes and was hobbling around saying ough and then she said "I hope those nails weren't rusty, I don't want 2 get rabies." ;)

I am the Mom who rides u on my lap,

I am the Christian Mom,

I am the Mom who will love u no matter what, no judgement,

I am the Mom who is always there 4 u,

I am the Mom who gives u the benefit of the doubt,

I am the Mom who tries new things and wants u 2 try new things,

I am the Mom who believes in u,

I am the Mom who keeps her word,

I am the happy Mom,

I am the Mom who can't wait to pick u up and carry u inside the pearly gates,

I am the Mom who gave u the best of her,

I am the Mom who knows you can do it,

I am the Mom who is highly sensitive to human suffering,

I am the Mom who wants 2 stop abortion,

I am the grateful Mom,

I am the calm Mom,

I am the understanding Mom,

I am the sympathetic Mom,

I am Mom.
