Sure, motherhood ain't always pretty but it sure can be darned funny...!
Regrettably, I am usually not present at morning devotions, an event that happens over breakfast with papa while I get my last few moments of beauty sleep. My presence for Sunday's devo while on a weekend getaway was regrettable for everyone else. When pops started off with the title, All by Myself, I took it as a personal invite to serenade the family with my best rendition of All by myse-e-elf, don't wanna be, all by myseeeelf! Everone waited until I was done but, alas, there was no applause. When I heard, We built this treehouse... it was, of course, another opportunity to break out in song, We built this (treehouse) on rock and ro-o-o-ll...!
No one has regretted my absence at morning devos since.
We hit up some outlets this weekend and all the girls scored new pea coats for a song (this time, not one of mine) at their new favorite store...Ooosh Koosh b'Goosh.
Somehow passing with flying colors came up this week at school. I am now inundated with requests for the actual test called, you guessed it, With Flying Colors.
With a full collection of books all things Star Wars, I fear I may be evolving into one. And no, not one of the beauties like Princess Leia or Queen Amidala. Nope, I've adopted the weirdo verbiage of Yoda..."Kids, don't forget warm to dress when outside you go!" Let's just hope my skin doesn't start morphing into a lovely shade of green.
My no-fail response when I want to put off a question from my kids is maybe. This week, however, my five year old lawyered up with, "Maybe is NOT an option! YES or NO?!?
Now, I'm being asked my the little people that rule the roost to vacate my computer. Fine, I'll just go find another way to waste time before starting dinner... :)
Embracing with Emily.
