A week or so ago I was trying to get dinner ready and Kevin had been on my last nerve. He was just making noise and bothering everyone, so I told him I didn't want to hear his voice anymore. I told him that if he needed to say something he should write it down on a piece of paper. Well, a few minutes went by and then he quietly slipped a paper in front of me. It said, "I Like You Mom."
I turned to him and said, "I like you, too, but I don't want to hear your voice. Go play quietly." A few more
minutes went by and another note was slipped in front of me. It said, "Mom am Sad." (Translation...Mom, I'm sad.)
Of course then I felt guilty and told him he could start talking, as long as he was quiet. Man...how is it kids can do that so easily? One
minute they're driving you crazy, and the next minute you want to scoop them up in your arms and kiss their whole face. I love being a mom!

That is so sweet. I don't know how kids do that either. They can make you so mad and the next minute they are so stinkin cute you just have to love em.
Love the new background.
aw, that made me get tears in my eyes...like no lie, about to go to English and my eyes are all watery!
I think my boys are given the gift of making me feel guilty just to keep me in line. Otherwise what kind of monstrous mother would I be? You don't want to know. I'm glad other kids pull this one, too.
I'm with Tara, My eyes are over flowing. I've had a hard day today trying to be a good mom with rebelling boys who want their own way because they are teens and as we all know teens can't help themselves because they're possessssed! And Morgan is just as bad because he's the youngest and has never heard the word "no" (I've said it to him thousands of times he's just never heard it).
