I'm a stay at home mom who's found blogging to be the best way to vent rationally. I love spending time with my family. This blog is my journal, since I find journaling to be somewhat tedious, so if you visit often, just know that things will be "real."

Leaves Me Speechless

Maye it was the post titled "Ode to Tax Season" that sparked his imagination. Maybe he thought I was losing it when I stated I would take my chances with the guerilla fighters in Tahiti. Or maybe he just wanted to do something nice for me. But what really makes this special is that tax season has got to be the hardest on him. Not me. And yet he was thinking of ME.

He told me to pick a resteraunt so we could go to dinner after work one Friday night. I chose Zinfandel Grille and Bar. YUMMY. We talked about the kids, the food, life... and we sat in comfortable silence as well. I was just happy to hang out with him.

As we are coming down the street toward our house, I see a car parked next to our house. I questioned whether we knew the owner of said car. He assured me he didn't know. We concluded that maybe it was just some random person parking next to our house. So with a shrug of the shoulders I dismissed it.

We walk inside and see someone I'd never set eyes on before.

Turns out she was there to give me a massage. She is a cousin of a friend of ours. She was all set up in my room, waiting for me to get home. Suffice it to say, it was an hour long massage in the comfort of my own room, on the most amazing massage table. I could've slept there it was that comfortable. In fact, I could hardly talk after she was done.

Amazing. Now I know why people like massages.

It meant the world to me that he thought of me during his hardest season at work. I've seen his office piled high with files, not only on his desk but on the floor. I've seen the work he brings home. I see the weary but excited look in his eyes when he walks through the door that says "I am finally home." I see him rescheduling his day to make sure he doesn't miss the functions that the kids do, even if it means that he has to put in later hours than normal to make up for it.

And yet he thinks of me. Me, who takes breaks from cooking and uses the excuse of having to endure tax season; whose clothing will dry from the sometimes crazy bath sessions with the boys; who really can find others to help with crazy schedules so I'm not running around like a crazy mama.

I just sit here typing this with little butterflies in my stomach at how sweet this truly was.

HE is amazing.

Funny Things The Kids Say

One day Andon and I were talking about our hearts. He asked me how they worked, I gave him an explanation a 4 y r old could understand, (the only one I understand.) The very next day, I said something to Zak. Something that went along the lines of, "quit that!" or some such demand. Andon then says to me: "Mommy, listen to your heart. That's not very nice." Needless to say I felt like a complete and total toad. Just goes to show that you can always learn more from your children than you could ever teach them yourself.

While we were camping, Andon and our friend's son were sitting next to one another. Brayden who is 15 says to Andon, "I've known you since you were a baby." Andon replies, "I've known me since I was a baby too!"


Brittnee is our funny bone. The things she says sometimes are so dang funny! One day, as she was walking by Doug she says, "Hello, my good man." We both looked at her and we both began cracking up. This is how she's referred to him lately.


I was sitting on the couch taking a breather after dinner and Andon walks past me into the kitchen. He had a car in his hand and as he walked by the fridge he must have dropped it because I heard him say, "tartar sauce!" I suppose I should limit his sponge bob watching.


I was in the car with the kids coming home from Britt's tap class and she was telling me about the school BBQ that day. She mentioned that her friend got sick. I asked her what happened and she said, "Layla has lots of diseases so she had to go home." I didn't think I heard her clearly, so I repeated back, "diseases?" Britt said, "Yes, Diseases." By this time I was truly perplexed because I knew she didn't really mean disease, but I couldn't figure out what she DID mean. Then Teaghan pipes up and says, "You mean ALLERGIES?" Brittnee says, "Oh yeah, that's what it is. ALLERGIES!" I laughed heartily, the kind where your shoulders shake and your stomach hurts.


We were at the school today, and on one of the playgrounds is these cubes that turn. On them are the states and their capitols. There's quite a few of them, and they're all blue. Zakry starts playing with them and turning them all, and then I hear, "mommy, look, a car wash." I suppose the large blue cubes reminded him of the car wash we went on last week. So funny!!
