A Salute

Here's to the moms who request extra handwriting practice at the end of the week
 and to the moms who survived an other-wordly, shrill scream from the 18 month old to start off the Aldi shopping trip with three kids after home school co op. Then zipped around the store, throwing things into her cart(organic hummus, really Kait?), spent more money than intended and topped it off with bacon ranch chicken salad in the parking lot 
 Here's to the moms who find new tape mangled and gnarly on the regular
 to the one who has cats eating in the corner of her kitchen
To the moms who finds themselves, after lunch, throwing back Coke Zero, staring at chicken nuggets on the floor, yelling Catechism questions to one while the others harass and chase each other in circles. I salute you.
Also, for your soul, if you're trusting in Jesus,
Q: How does God justify you?
A: God forgives all my sins and accepts me as righteous through Christ

We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
