Gotta Love Those Kids!!!

So I will be perfectly honest here........3 weeks at Christmas time for vacation is wawywywywywywy to long for the families. (Maybe not families but definitely mothers)We had a lot of fun and it was great to not have to get up at 6 am every morning, or to have to make lunches the night before, or to have do homework. However, keeping the little six-pack out of mischievous behavior that lead to trouble was was virtually impossible. We did it all....... play dough, making models of jets, to making models of birdhouses. We played file folder games, we counted, sang, practiced and yet it just was still too long. So as I struggled each night, I realized I need to focus on the positive that they were adding to my life. They have so many wonderful qualities and I just have to reach a little harder to remember them and point them out.The answer that I came up with was to make cute little poster boards for each of them. Present them to each of the children and have them hang them on their doors. They love them almost as much as I did making them. Each time I was ready to run away screaming and hide until the storm would blow over.... I go to their room and look at their poster and point out one of the things I love the most about them. So far so good. I was thinking about doing the same thing for me. It would be nice to hear good things about myself besides the usual, this sucks mom, that is gross mom, you must hate me mom, you are not my friend mom, or the kicker lately, you wish I was not here. Seriously, how do kids come of with this stuff. Well my friends have a great night!!!
