Last night the Little Man laid down the law. Apparently, I am no longer allowed to kiss him goodbye in front of his friends. If I do, then I am ruining his life. The other kids at school pick on the kids who get a kiss. I felt like I've been stabbed through the heart with this one.
I knew that this day would come eventually, but I didn't think it would be this soon.
Its Friday, and I am looking forward to the fact I have a 3 day weekend coming up. Little Man doesn't have school on Monday so I get the spend the day with him. Well most of the day-I do have a dentist appointment in the afternoon after the big man gets home from work. I think I'm feeling less stressed because I have 3 days to relax and recover.
Tomorrow is the St. Patrick's Day parade and the little man is supposed to march in it. I also have to go shopping for the little man's new clothes. Do our weekly library trip. Grocery shopping. Clean the house and finish the laundry. I'd like to get my haircut too. Take a trip to Hobby Lobby. Build our lepruchan trap for Wednesday (he may not want me to kiss him but we still believe in lepruchans and the tooth fairy). Maybe bake some cookies.
Sunday I have altar guild at church and have to bring treats for coffee hour (apple cinnamon mini muffins and banana bread). Family Movie Day is that afternoon and Little Man & I are going to go see the movie Hoot at the Outdoor Campus-the Big Man is welcome to join us if he wants, but I think its a date with my little man. There's a lot going on, but nothing too overwhelming. I like it like that.
Thinking about meals for next week...tonight grilled cheese and tomato soup. Saturday I was thinking homemade burgers and fries. Sunday chicken parmesan (homemade) with spaghetti. Monday 3 bean burritos, homemade Spanish rice and corn. Tuesday will be skillet ranch chicken and baked potatoes. Wednesday (of course) will be corned beef and shamrock cupcakes. Thursday will either be leftovers or breakfast for dinner. Friday is tuna noodle casserole.
The Little Man woke up very early this morning (like 5 am) and is all go go go today. He said he wanted to have some fun before school, so he is playing with his hot wheels cars on the living room floor in front of me, while Ni Hao Kai Lan is on Nick Jr. He's so cute :)
I've been overly tired this past week, mainly because I am fighting off a cold and I've been a bit of a slug the last few days. I didn't hit the treadmill yesterday, mainly because I just didn't feel motivated. Today I can't because the little man is playing right now, and looking for feedback from me. At least I got 3 days in...add to it my back has been killing me the last few days (I think an overloaded purse as well as yucky damp weather has been adding to it). Its actually even hard to do my yoga daily dozen because I am so tight. Little Man kind of laughed at me this morning as I attempted the downward dog-I couldn't get stretched out enough. I am hoping it was a sympathy laugh for his poor mommy being in pain rather than poor mommy cant stretch.
I guess maybe I'll give him a kiss for good measure-just not in front of his friends.
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld
