My friend had this on her blog so I'm sharing with you what makes me feel like a good mom...

When he gives me hugs



When I'm patient with him during thoes times it takes everything I have to be patient with him

I take him to go do/see new things

I take him swimming because I know its something he truly loves

I feed him nutritious foods
I see him so happy with his dad because I'm reminded I chose a good one!
I don't have pictures of the last 3 but they are:


when I lay him down in his crib at bedtime and all he does is smile and say "buh bye!"
when I hear him say his ABC's and
when I read to him.

Physics and pottery

So I subbed today at Laramie High School and kinda liked it. There's always the things you don't like (having to be showered & ready by 7:15am, not my cup of tea, AND the fear of the unknown, because every time you sub its a different situation, but it was o.k. today. I sat in a physics class and learned about mars and Albert Einstein, plus I got to go to a pottery class, kinda cool. The most interesting thing though is to see all the kids and realize how little I was when I was in high school, even though I felt so "big." AND I realized how much easier life was in high school than when you have to grow up and have grown up responsibilties. If you're reading this and you're in high school, LIVE IT UP!!

C-R-A-Z-Y

As I was riding my bike home from the half acre TOTALLY minding my own business, I see this VERY concerned guy start talking to me.

Crazy guy: STOP! YOUR TIRE!!

Me: (afraid for my life, I stop thinking maybe its a flat tire?) what?

crazy guy: Your tire!! Its round!

me: (starting to realize this guy is c-r-a-z-y) o.k... (as I start to pedal away)


crazy guy: No really, its round, and it has black stuff all over it!

me: o.k. thanks

crazy guy: Make sure you get that taken care of, o.k? (with a huge grin on his face)

me: (peddling away a little faster, still afraid for my life) o.k. I will.
