gimmes
Brenner has the gimmes...bad! Everything he sees on TV he HAS to have. From toys to cereal, he wants it all. I pride myself in teaching Brenner the value and importance of contentment - being thankful and happy with what he has. This can be a tough act to follow with today's demands and expectations. "But Jackson has one, Mommy", or "I'm a good boy, can I have a new toy?" A part of me wants so badly to give him everything he wants in this world, but buying my child's happiness and affection with "things" is not my definition of good parenting. I see this pattern all around me and I'm trying SO hard not to fall victim. Time to get out the Madame Blueberry Veggie Tale movie for a good refresher!
I gave my two weeks notice yesterday and it sure did create quite a ruckus in town. I was taking calls and responding to emails all afternoon explaining my career change. I hope to stay very involved with the community and the members I've become good friends with. So if I pass the drug test I'm set to start my new job March 22nd...my lucky number! Sweet.
