Girls borrowed my Loki and now he’s just a regular guy buying croissants from a hedgehog.

As long as her drool flows...

You would think it would happen gradually .... but it never does. Time is funny like that. One August morning you wake up and instead of being hit with a sticky humid breeze you feel cool air and can smell fall coming. This is the first sign that summer is drawing to a close... the second ... and much more exciting to my kids... is running down to the school parking lot that sat empty most of the summer but now has an occasional car --that can be associated with a teacher they know... til one day... they know their favorite teacher is back from her cross country travels ... and they run up to her class room window knowing she's inside and wait patiently for her to open the shade :-)

This is pretty much my resting face now.

Mothers...

We are the front line for our children. No matter what happens in life we are always there for them, however we aren’t perfect and that’s ok. You want to know why? We’re human just like everyone else. We are going to mess up because if you think about it that is what we are programmed to do. The best thing to do when we mess up?

Get up off the ground, brush ourselves off and move on with life. We are setting the examples for our children. I know that I don’t want to be the one to show my kids that is tough times come along you can just sit and cry. No. I don’t want my kids to wallow in their mistakes, I want them to learn from them and I am a prime example for them to learn as well.

Children are the best thing that can happen to anyone. Though at times you wonder who is going to go crazy first. You? The kids? Your husband? At times I have even questioned my dogs sanity...that is a totally different story though.

So in closing to all the moms out there. You are doing a great job! Be proud of the parenting that you are doing because there is no one else on the face of the earth like you and your kids know it. That’s why they look up to you! There maybe times where you think you have no idea what you are doing (believe me we all do, and whoever says they don’t is a liar) and that you may want to pull your hair out but I am telling you that you are doing a great job! Don’t let the naysayers get to you. Hold your head high and smile because honestly that’s what gets to the negative people more. Proving them wrong.
