Okay so I lost the sure thing bet LOL! I bet my son that the Yankees would beat the Orioles Friday night. I logged on at 10p and it was 9 to 6 I think Yankees up and the 9th inning. I felt bad for potentially taking my son's $. Turns out I owe him! And he didn't let me forget it, either LOL!
At Sabbath School this week they were learning about being thankful. So, the teachers had each child pick someone to write a thank you card to. Both my children picked me. How humbling is that?
Madison wrote "thank you" in her first grade scrawl on the inside and drew some pictures. I need to ask her what they mean.
Matthew wrote some lovely things inside his. It says: thank you mommy for your helping with homework. showing me how to read and spell. you showed me how to pray. I Love you. you also helped me to eat, walk, jump to talk and love. Matthew.
I was moved to tears. Most days I feel like a horrible mother with little patience and not enough time or attention to bestow on my children. I'm short-tempered and quick to shout. Even through all that, my children are thankful for the things I do for them. Again, how humbling.
