Every now and then, Jacob takes a break from telling me I'm a mean mom and I'm ruining his life, to do something sweet like make me this card.  It's moments like these that remind me how lucky I am to be a mom!

Victory

Today felt victorious. I got the house fairly clean all at the same time (as opposed to one room looking nice and the rest trashed), I actually prepared and cooked dinner, the dinner mess actually got cleaned up on the same day it was made, the boys actually went to sleep downstairs together tonight (usually they play too much and Hunter gets sent upstairs), Adam went to sleep tonight for the first time without his bottle, I am finally at a weight I haven't for about six years. It was a very good day.

Quiet Game

We were driving home from family dinner. Trevor was talking to me and Hunter kept saying "Dad.....Dad.....Dad..". Trevor told him to wait for a minute because he was talking to me. When Trevor finished he said "OK Hunter. What did you want to ask me?". "Can we play the quiet game?".

Hunter: Dad

Generation Gap

Jacob: Mom can you turn a movie on for me?
Me: why can't you turn it on?
Jacob: I don't know how to.
Me: you don't know how to turn a movie on?
Jacob: I don't know how to do these kind. It's not a DVD. It's one of these square ones (VHS).
