Charter: "Mom! Dad! Cole has something he wants to show you!"
Oh my! Cole just came in and he colored his face all the way black with a marker.
Cole: "Mom, I used the earaser kind, is it a stain marker?"
Me: "Yep buddy, markers on the skin stain."
Ha Ha! He used a dry erasemarker. He thought it would erase off his face too. Oops!
Me: "What made you decide to do this?"
Cole: "Well, at first I drew a mustache, then I drew a beard. Then I drew the lines football players have under their eyes, then I decided to color my whole face."
Luckily most of it washed off when he got in the bath. Kids are pretty amazing!

My parents and stuff
I think I might be bad at blogging. It is clear that I go through random spurts where I will write, and then when I won't. All that aside...
Lately I have been feeling a bit numb. I know that change is quite inevitable, and such is the course of life, but still, it does not make it easy. When I stand back, there is no need for me to complain in my life. I have great kids, a great husband, all of my needs are met... but then there are the little things that can still bum a girl out.
So, here it is, my latest "thing." My parents are moving. There, I have said it. I suppose that I sound like a big baby. I suppose also that I don't care. I have been trying to evaluate the reasons that I am so sad, and I think that I may have found my "Top 3 List"
1. I know that my kids will not be spending as much time with people that they adore, and that I love having in their lives.
2. I want them to be happy, and I hope that this move is going to be what they expect.
3. As the oldest child in our family, I feel somewhat responsible for my siblings even though they are all grown and married.
There you have it... my mind as of this second in a nutshell. My problems that are not really mine, and my inability to not own them as of this moment.
Hasta Lasagna
