Ok - my friend Lisa will tell you that what I am about to say is sooooooo not me!!!
I found myself this morning asking Jake over and over again "Wanna go to _____? Wanna' do _______?" and to everything I would ask he would say "Nah" and was perfectly happy laying on the floor surrounded by all of his art supplies and drawing pictures. Evidently he has learned about drawing "stink lines" when he draws pictures of 'smelly things' - he's such a knucklehead!!!
Anyway, I digress.
So, finally at 1:30 after numerous extravagent pencil drawings and too many episodes of Spongebob, I convinced him to get outside and play. So we went to his school and played on the swingset. Can I just tell you that other than sitting on a swing at that same playground last summer, I haven't swung on a swing since I was seeing Eric and we would walk down to the park by his parents house and just talk and swing in the middle of the night. That memory came back to me today. Sitting there with my son, swinging and giggling and hearing him say "Mommy this is the best day ever!!!" What more could you ask for? I'm not asking for a thing. All I need I have right here with me now. An incredible son, the love of family and friends, a steady job, a safe home and a dependable vehicle. I am blessed.
Today was the best day ever. I can't wait for tomorrow!
Sweet dreams,
Doris
