I love the outdoors!
• Mar. 14, 2007 - Queen in my own home
I am outnumbered in my home.
I share an abode with 4 of the male species, and sometimes it gives me pause. (Like when they make various bodily noises, or when they fake bodily noises, and then laugh, or when they talk about the bodily noises! I mean really, how funny could all this be?!)
Or I experience mayhem like dad2three described so fiendishly in his recent post.
But tonight I experienced one of those sweet moments with 2 of my younger men (ages 7 and 8).
We are reading in bed. I am doing the reading as usual, and they are listening.
Youngest son,"Mom, you have tangles in your hair". He is trying to run his hands through my hair while I still have a pony-tail holder in it!
I take the stretchy band out of my hair, and he proceeds to run his fingers through my hair. He sweetly explains with his rough, raspy voice that "You need to get all these tangles out".
Son, aged 8 lays his not-so-small-anymore arm across my back to give me a big hug.
At this moment, I am being blessed.
I am appreciating the moment. |

• Mar. 16, 2007 - That is sooooo sweet!
Just the other night, I was dozing in the easy chair in front of the tv while I was supposed to be cooking dinner and then I jerked awake when MS said something. "Huh?" I said. He said "I said I need to go get that blue bottle of lotion because you need a foot rub." Sure I was dreaming, I waited a moment while he disappeared and then there he was, with my fancy birthday lotion, rubbing my feet!
And today, he told me he wanted me to make his upcoming birthday cake instead of buy it even though I'm not very good at such things -- why? "Because," he said. "You'd make it with love."
Who IS this kid?
I'm going to have to blog about him!
