It’s so close to summer, and so hard to believe it! The weather is still so nice and my workload at school has been just as steady. I have made an effort to leave at 3:15 every day (except for faculty meeting days) to get to spend time with Cruz now that Seth is working until 5 and home at 5:30 daily. This summer we are gonna have so much time together, we won’t know what to do! I need to get a workbook or 2 for him to do some work over the summer so he doesn’t forget all that he’s been learning in preschool so far. Less than 2 weeks from the adoption date…YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sure we’ll be doing some doctor and dentist visits in over the summer. He needs his 4 year old shots…that’s gonna be a fun visit. I REALLY want to make an effort to shed the 10 pounds I’ve gained this year. It’s driving me nuts! If that means joining the gym or just doing a lot of laps in the hood and eating salad every day, I’ll do it baby! I will work in my library some and do some storytimes at Cruzs’ school. We need to work on plans for the foster/adoptive ministry at church and put some things on paper. How is it that my posts usually end up in some sort of list? Well, while I am list making, here’s another list for ya. With Mother’s Day approaching, here are 5 reasons I like being a mom:
1. Getting “lovin’” (hugs and kisses!).
2. Disney Channel-we are watching the cutest shows! (Sunny with a Chance, Good Luck Charlie, etc.)
3. Kids clothes-they are so cute!!
4. T-ball-best way to spend a Saturday! I get to watch boys learn how to play one of the greatest sports ever created! (I recently saw Cruz’ first attempt at sliding into homebase….adorable!!!)
5. Getting to see Cruz take on our traits and attitudes! He copies my faces I make and says things that we say. The other day he told Seth, “That gotta hurt,” about his hurt finger! hahaha On a more serious side, his sweet prayers are so refreshing. He says some things that we say when we pray, and others are just sweet expressions of his heart.
There are a lot more reasons, but its Friday afternoon and my brain is gone! Long day!
