One thing affects the other doesn't it? You do this and you get that. You do that and you get this. What if you made that decision, would it have been different? Yep. Sure.
Busy week and already dropped the ball on two things. I keep a darn calendar and it still doesn't matter. Give me peace and quiet. Give me back my walking. Wait, yes, I'm the only one who can make that happen. Priorities.
Thanksgiving is next week.
I live my life with kindness. Kindness to others in little and big ways. At work and at home. I snap though. I snap at home. Why do they get the best of me at work? Why? It should be the reverse. Wait. It should be consistent. Kay. I'll work on that. I like these conversations. Plow through one thing, no time to admire it done, the next thing is waiting. Why are Americans so go go go? Why am I?
So the Oldest is taking a test on Civics/Government tomorrow. I like when I ask him a question (that might be on the test) and he asks it back to me. Like this:
Oldest: I studied, I'm ready, go ahead, quiz me.
Me: OK, what are the purposes of rules and laws?
Oldest: Ok, what are the purposes of rules and laws. Ok. Yep. Hmmm. (quiet and looking at ground). Hmmmm (wonder where he gets the "hmmm" from)
Me: I think you need to study some more. Ya think?
Oldest: Exasperated gasp. Defeatedly says, "Ok, I'll study more."
Love that. Don't be telling me that schmack that you studied. I got your number boy. Rock on.

You cook, you clean, you go to work, you nourish, you love, you scold, you are professional and yet you hang your hat on every dust particle in your home. You are a woman. Some women are Moms and some are not. You are still a woman. We are all made similarly. We are strong.
