And I Chose to Have Children

Sitting around today watching movies and such...

Cori is sick so wants a detailed explanation about what is happening while he is indisposed. For those of you who don't know, Cori has ADHD and it is sometimes easier to just give in then to let him keep pestering you until you go insane.. so Rem started telling him what was going on. It went something like this

Cori: so what happened while I....

Rem: well they made the boom boom, then...

Me: the boom boom?

Cori: sex?

Rem: yeah so they made the boom boom....

then while I was laughing at their antics and wonderful communication skills, I tossed my head and ran my fingers through it. Only to hear

Frankie: Mom you are not a supermodel and there is no fan there....

Just think... I CHOSE to have children.

A Mother's Heart

What can I say, I have been graced with the brightest stars to ever dance in the skies.. and they come to my house to roust at night.

They are wild and wonderful, cranky and creative, funloving and horrid. They are unique individuals that I take great pride in...

If my four children were told to go in a cave and learn algebra...
JR would go in the cave, drag a few of his friends in and figure out how algebra equated to everyday life and how they could use it to have a good time.

Cori would look at the math.. and paint the walls

Frankie would look up and say.. you want me to learn algebra? I need a teacher, a book, a desk, a lamp, a window and Cori dammit go paint outside.

and Remi darling Remi would look up and say.. What no closet space?

Aren't you glad you didn't have to teach them?
