Today was preschool day, so Reed was there all A.M. He has had some issues with taking items, AKA stealing seashells from the play room. Coach and I have been pretty hard on him, hoping that we make our point clear.....OUR kids will not steal......my Mom assures me every kid does this, but being a teacher, I know where this can go and it isn't so "insignificant" when they are 14! When I picked him up, he said, "Look in my pockets....nothing, can we call Daddy and tell him I didn't thief anything or pee in my pants".....Damn near broke my heart......I guess we got the point across huh? Then we get in the car, and I tell him how much Tate missed him today, he promtly says I miss him too......there goes that heart again......I think of my brother a lot in those cute moments....He (Jason) has been dead now near nine years, but not many days go by that I don't think of him. Reed, so far, is very much like him in his mannerisms and his tendency to be "wild" and to bounce off the walls. While reading one of the many parents magazines, I was glancing over an article about what people say and what they really mean....like "your child is very active"......meaning my god your child is completely insane and he is making me insane watching him run around......that is my blessed child in a nutshell......I love that kid more than life, but he makes my head spin and those days we are together all day long with no break by the time my husband gets home everything I say I am yelling and my patience is as thin as tissue paper.
Anyway, poor Tate.....I accidentally mashed his little fingers with a chair I was moving, then I was trying to move a toy up and out of the ball pit and busted the poor kid's lip.....he is screaming and Reed keeps saying I didn't do it, I didn't do it.....then while he was taking a well deserved nap, he poops on himself and that of course wakes him up and now no nap....so he is in a terrible mood to say the least.
Ok.....so I found this Hallmark book called, A Mother's Legacy. Your life story in your own words. I am going to give one to my Mom and I got one for my MIL and one for myself of course. I am going to attempt to fill it out before I get old and spend my days in an assisted living home.
Anyway, I thought I could blog about some of the topics too.
Here goes number one.
1. My favorite song and why......well song of all time would be, "The Dance" by Garth Brooks. It was my Dad's favorite song and he asked that it played at his funeral. He died in 1994 of pancreatic cancer. Later when my brother died, this song was playing on a tape he had when the crash occurred (this was told to me by the surviving crash victims). So, it was also played at his funeral......I know,,,..... God that is sooooo morbid.....but it carries such a significance in my life, and I can never hear it without thinking of them.......but also the song tells a great story...The Dance, by Tony Arata
"Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone For a moment all the world was right How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance Holding you I held everything For a moment wasn't I a king But if I'd only known how the king would fall Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance Yes my life is better left to chance I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance."
My life is so summed up by this song.......I wouldn't trade one thing that has every happened to me, b/c I might not have right now.......
Funny things Reed said......about not "thiefing" anything and not peeing or pooping his pants
Funny things Tate did today......climbing on top of a box, and them promptly falling off while smiling at his accomplishment.
