I wish I could live by all my children. The things you write about yourself that you are crazy about are the things that others like about you. You are more creative than you give yourself credit for... you show your children the world instead of the walls of the house.... you let your children discover things and don't hold them back....you have created memories for your children by being with them and giving them experiences. I wish I could be there to help and that you could communicate your feelings to me. I love the person you are.
Well, I can't top what your mother has said, but I will say that she's right--people love you for who you are. I love you for who you are. And, I ALSO wish I lived closer to you.
I hope we see you at the game tonight...do you know where your seats are?
What a wonderful comment from your mother.
You do crossword puzzles every day? Wow. I don't have very many original ideas, either, and I'm still trying to be okay with that. It's interesting that you wanted to go to law school -- I can totally see you being good at that. I don't know Joe Purdy, better look into that! I'd like to lose my insecurities as well.
Loved your I win... clever.
"i believe... we all have the ability to be extraordinary."
But wouldn't that just make us all ordinary? I mean, if we're all extraordinary, then extraordinary is ordinary, right?
"i worry... my kids won't grow up with a "magical childhood" because I'm too lazy."
I'm sorry, but this is just stupid. The best any kid can hope for is a parent who doesn't beat him/her up indiscriminately. "Magical childhood"? I think you've been watching too much Disney.
brent, you think that is the "best" one can hope for? I tell you I haven't gone to sleep with my hopes summed up by "I hope tomorrow they don't beat me!" for a while. Although to think of it, I DO hope they don't beat me tomorrow.
Lara-
I agree with some, disagree with others. I think you are more beautiful, dance better, and are a better mom than you give yourself credit for. I am glad I get to live so close to you. But what the hell, I'll just give you a hug and tell you all this stuff when I get home.
lara I think you are great and agree with what has been said, you definitely don't give yourself enough credit.
I had no idea you did crossword puzzles everyday. Like from the newspaper? Hearing nothing can be a good thing at times...right? I cry in the car too, especially with certain music or maybe it's because I'm thinking a lot in the car. I have the same fear.
