From the Chronicles of Mothering...

First some dialog with Drew...
Me: "Do you guys want to swim for awhile this afternoon?"
Drew: "Mom it is WAY to cold outside today!"
Me: "It's 89 Drew."
Drew: "Yeah, well it felt cold to me."
I thought you friends in ND and SD might get a "kick" out of this comment!

And a journaling of something that has never happened to me before...
About 10 days ago Lizzy was declared officially "potty-trained"! Yeah! She has done SO well. In fact, she only had 6 accidents total I think. But today she was SO interested in the music that was coming from the computer, that she didn't want to take time for a potty break. She LOVES the song "O Praise Him" (the one you are hearing if your sound is on your computer). You can guess what's coming next, BUT I bet if given an opportunity you wouldn't guess just WHAT happened. Lizzy had an accident...a wonderfully BIG pee pee accident right on top of my wallet (which happened to be on the floor by the computer). Everything totally drenched!!! At first Brent and I looked on in disbelief at what was happening...then All we could do was laugh...it was really unbelieveable how perfectly targeted it was. And yes credits cards, Drivers License, my $3.00 cash, my checkbook, my cards, photos, passes...everything "got wet"...Ahhh...what do you do? As I said we chose to laugh. I knew WHY it happened...and I felt bad for her. Her brothers thought it was hysterical and asked if she was "the first" one of my kids to pee on my wallet. I said "Yes, boys, she was." And I hope the last.:-) Well, my wallet IS 10 years old...maybe now I will actually replace it.

You just never know what a day or a moment might bring when you are a mom...I am SO glad that I am home with my kids...I don't miss very many of them!!
