Stop being a stranger. 

Anywhoo, I have not done much lately. Starting all these new hobbies and it's going no where!  I am back in school so that has been keeping me busy for now. If you're still here in the cities let's catch up with lunch or dinner. 

Yes we should definitely catch up   I still want to go canoeing

Yesterday was our last day of folklore wrestling for the season but the start of soccer and Greco wrestling.  I can’t wait for the snow to all melt and go away….please no more snow storms, I’m officially sick of snow.

On a different tune….sunny cali here I come for you roaring like a leo

That's a crazy nightmare you had there.

[VillainousHero]

Oh ah if only I wasn't your brother in life. I feel so much for you, yet I have my own problems to deal with.  Life' s rewards are one more day with one more chance.  I know it.  You will do feel fine.  Keep on living.

It’s a girl....

It’s a quiet Friday evening and I decided to watch “It’s a Girl” – a gendercide documentary of girls particularly in China and India.  Being a woman myself, documentaries like these always hit close to home.  It’s a topic I’m passionate about, a topic that most people don’t like to talk about.

While I was watching this documentary on Netflix, my son would flicker in and out of the room taking in bits and pieces of what I was watching.  About half way through it, he comes snuggling up to me like a lost puppy.  He says, “Mama this movie is so sad.  I feel sad for those girls.”  I simply hugged him closer and tightly.  “I’m so glad that I am born a boy otherwise I might be like those girls in that movie and not have a Mama to hug me and love me.”  I love my son for his bright personality.  I’m constantly amazed at how he views and processes the world.  He’s pretty amazing to me….even when he doesn’t listen, have tantrums, and misbehaves just like any other 6 year old boy.

THE Imax experience…

I told my son we were going to have a DATE.

A date….of course he was making funny faces… “A DATE mama?”  That’s just gross!

I took him to see “Born to be Wild” at the Imax Theater.  It’s about baby elephants and orangutans who have been orphaned.  I figured since he was into learning about animals, it would be a good show for him.  He whined and wiggled like mad while we were waiting to get into the theater.  He was not a fan of 3-D showings.  He clearly articulated to me of how distasteful the movie would be for him because he was fearful of the animals jumping out at him.

I didn’t know that they have mini – love seats in the theater.  Of course we snuggled onto one and put our glasses on.  It’s truly amazing to me as a parent to see the wonders that my son discovers every day.  He was a bit intimidated but was soon enjoying the film.  He tried to touch them and interact with their soccer game…the elephants were kicking a soccer ball around.

It was a touching film and inspiring indeed.  But the cutest moment was when he snuggled and nuzzled (copying the animals on screen) a few kisses on my face whispering…. “Mama – You are the best!” I’m feeling so sad for these animals but I’m happy I have a mama.  I love this kid

The Brotherhood…

I get emotional sometimes when I think about the journey I’ve had so far with my boys.  I feel blessed and humble that as hard as the journey has been, they’ve continued to shined like stars in my life.   I take comfort in knowing that they are creating their own brotherhood, one that amazes me at times. 

Last night I showed this video with them….a brother’s love means so much in so many ways.
It’s our brotherhood; we have a choice in how we want it be like. There was not a dry eye in our home last night....

THE Imax experience…

I saw "Born to be Wild" at the IMAX in 3D too...with my older daughter for a sleepover at the museum a couple of years back through her school.  I think I liked it more than she did...LOL!

That's cute your son thinks a date is gross....LOL!  My first grader doesn't care so much for dating either, but when my 6th grader was in first grade, she was so into it.  It's interesting learning about how little kids mind's think.

Your son is so sweet.

That youtube video is awesome.  What a great brother he is.  I'm glad your boys share a brotherhood.

Little surprises....

It’s the little surprises in life that brings forth meaning in our lives.  Have you ever gotten a little surprise and to this day still smile when you think of it?

Last night I told my son that I had a surprise for him.  He excitedly jumped up and down wanting to know what the surprise was that I had in store for him.  Early this morning he looked around the house, searching for clues to what kind of surprise was awaiting him.  He found nothing.  Then he looked inside his lunch box and saw that there was no surprise waiting in there for him either.  A little dismayed he thought I had forgotten his surprise.

I went to his school today during his lunch time.  While he was seated with all his classmates, I sneaked up behind him and said, “SURPRISE!”  He giggled and his smile beamed proudly announcing to his friends, “Hey everyone my Mom is here to have lunch with us!”  There’s a special bench reserved just for parent and child lunch times, but we opted to stay sitting with all his classmates.  All the kids gave random shout outs to me.  Sam who sat next me said he never gets a visitor so he was happy I came to visit him too.  Amazing kids…

As I was leaving the school, he gets out of the recess line and rushes over to me.  I kneeled down and he gives me a great big hug….thanks MOM, You are the best!  I hope you have a great day like me today he says as he rushes off to the playground.

Aw...that is so sweet what you did.  It put a smile on my face.

I was watching a re-run of The Office last night and the boss was supposed to tell his employees about a surprise he had for them.  Turned out he didn't have one.  It was funny but sad and embarrassing for the boss.

I love surprises especially when they come from my kids.  They love to surprise me, and their dad too, with artwork they've made in school for us.

I love those little artsy projects from school too.  I’m actually thinking of framing some art pieces made by my kids and hanging them in the house since I have bare walls.

Little kids are so adorable and cute. A few months ago, my little nephew who is only 6 wrote a letter to his mom. In the letter he scribbled "I love you guys very much cause you take us somewhere and we have fun" "You guys are the best!" "And thank you for mom for giving 3 births" "And thank god for created us to love you". I thought that was the sweetest thing. He's a mama's boy. He love to show his mom to his friends at school and tell them that he have a hot mom. LOL Better enjoy those moment before they grow up and out of it.

That IS a super cute note ST, thanks for sharing.  I love little notes like that from kids.  I’m not a hot mom but my son sure knows that I can bake a cupcake so he’ll tell his friends that I’m such a cookery and bakery mom

It feels like 20 days…

I took a business trip out of town for a few days.  When I got back my little guy said it feels like I was gone for 20 days.  He’s quite the character and I love his charming personality.  Last night after we read together he said he missed me so much and that he felt alone.  “It’s such a big world mama,” I would be lost if you never came back he said.  I cherish these simple little moments because each day he’s getting older and he’ll need me less and less.

This morning mister charming was just too cute.  He came to wake me up and asked if I was trying to dream about a husband.  “Do you want to look for a husband mama?”  I asked him why he was asking me such a question this early in the morning.  “Well mama, because if you are I think I know someone who is looking for a wife.”  He’s one silly boy
