boys, lunch and shopping
I'm pretty sure I wasn't exactly cut out to be the perfect Mother to a boy. I've never understood the joy in crawling around on the floor and in the dirt making cars go back and forth. Nor was I cut out to deal with my five-year-old son telling me tonight that he has two girlfriends at school already. Let me repeat...TWO GIRLFRIENDS! Oh Lord, grant me mercy...sweet loving mercy. For example; tonight I took two five-year-old extremely energetic boys to Papa's Pizza, fed them pizza, soda (caffeine free), cleaned up a #2 accident Brenner's friend had in the men's restroom (you wouldn't believe the looks I got) and listened to belching contests for two hours, car ride to and back not included. I realized more than ever how much Brenner wants and needs a sibling. Adam and I are praying for a sister, or sisser according to Brenner. And we even have her named.
Today was a fun day with a super yum lunch with my second favorite Jen at the Mustard Seed and a short shopping trip to the Blue Moon. I adore the owner and all the colorful funky items she carries in the store. Jen scored some great items on the clearance rack and I found a few items to ponder over. I rarely buy anything on a whim, I'm an over-thinker...it's an illness.
