There are many thoughts and ideas about stay at home moms. The common idea around our town is that stay at home moms sit around and do nothing but eat and watch t.v. all day. I really wish this was the case. This week has been fall break for the big kid. And boy did he have big plans. Big plans of doing nothing. But unlike traditional school, the tot still had speech therapy and preschool. So we were out running errands. And of course, getting ready for Thanksgiving. It was a busy week. But not anymore busy than normal.
So I got asked several times this week if we had somewhere to be and had something to do. And everything was answered with a yes. And then I replied that at least we didn't have to rush around in the morning like chickens with our heads cut off because school was out for him. He looked shocked. Then he asked with the best puzzled look on his face and asked if we(meaning the tot and I) sat around all day. I just laughed.
He learned the value of respecting his mother. And respecting his brother. He was on the other end. Usually it's Jet and I sitting quietly while he is off at karate or 4-H events. This week, he's been sitting quietly while Jet was in preschool and speech. And next week we venture down to Los Angeles for Jet too. That will hopefully be a happy post. So I will go back to my Thanksgiving dinner prep. And I'll let this week sink into the tween.
