My sidekick and me

Doing what she loves



My sidekick and me





 My sidekick and me
Whom with few others I would rather be               
She leaps in the grass
Tonight washing our faces
Her retorts have such sass
My sidekick and me

My sidekick and me
There was many a day
in the beginning of her stead
where I would dread her arrival
Yet all that aside, she is steadily by my side
regardless of the thick or thin
My sidekick and me
She had to do it exact

In my arms as often as she can
My sidekick and me
A precious life God gave
Exactly as I dreamed this would be
He knew her name, her every piece and part
well before I could see
He entrusted her to me, despite my groaning and initial pain
How ever will I be the same
without my sidekick with me

My sidekick and me
She encompasses all that I have dreamed, loved and known
Who ever could explain how the last is nothing the same
And yet everything all wrapped in one
ends in eternal fun
My sidekick and me
A rare moment we slept together
Pretending to teach just like Mommy she said.

Valentines, Boys and food

Last night all 3 big kids sat with me on the little couch reading books. One of them was called will you be my valentine. Michael asked what a valentine was and as I was explaining about "boy" friends and boy friends/ girl friends and "girl" friends. Annabeth then says so you and Daddy knew each other when you were kids. I tell her no and she gets confused. She asked some more questions suprised to hear that Daddy wasn't my only boyfriend. She asks if I kissed the other boys and I hestitated but said yes. She asked how old I say when you are 16 you might kiss a boy, HA! Daddy chimes in and says more like 20. All the kids yell at him because he usually does add something to tease with. Annabeth then covers her mouth and says I am NOT going to kiss a boy. Jan 1st 2010 we were heading to eat Chinese. It was 10:30am. Joey said I haven't eaten breakfast. I said well you should have done that before we were leaving can't you wait. He said nothing so I left t...

Piglet strikes again...

Lately dinner has become a major source of tension in my home. Many of you may know I HATE to cook as it stands so any additional frustration pulls at my temptation to not cook at all. The girls are pretty good about trying foods, eating salad and not complaining too much. The boys on the other hand have really gotten ridiculious. They would not try sloppy joe's, pulled beef which was AMAZING. G even had several helpings, or pork chops, even cheeseburger pasta (mac and cheese with beef). I have always felt that you must eat a few bites of everything and then if you are full or truly not hungry than fine. Fruit or vegetable is available anytime. But when I watch #1 eat 9 pieces of pizza, an adult meal at any fast food joint, or even restuarant I realized that he is playing the system. He has gotten a little better, except for gagging on sweet potatoes which he later was shocked to find out they were a potato and said if he has know that he would have ate them, What??? He does no...

Dad in charge

Today was my nephew's confirmation. Only grandparents and sponsors were attending the ceremony as it included 300 or so children. Afterwards my BIL and SIL hosted a celebration picnic in the park near their house. Having an older nephew my family, children included, remembered how it was to go. Park fun, no bathroom nearby not so fun. The biggest difference this time was that I ended up not attending, that is Eva and I. Dad was in charge of the big 3 at a function where adults eat and chat, kids play. Hmmmm anyone else hear the foreshadowing? Dad's typically are not the same as mom's. Mom's teach and nurture dad's brush off and toughen up. I am a fan of tough love and work it out on your own now that the kids are bigger. In conflict resolution some extra talking between each party should also occur including coaching at times too, but the event started off at a terrible disadvantage for the kids. #2 spent the night at a friends house and was only picked up on the ...
