I've been told...

Here is a little bit of a conversation I had with Hunter the other day:

Me: Come on, Hunter. (Backstory - I was trying to put his shirt on and Hunter always insists on holding a car so that makes it impossible to actually get his hand through the sleeve -)

Hunter: Mama, why are you so crabby?

Me: Hunter, I am not crabby! (actually I really was but did NOT like being called on it..)

Hunter: Mama, YOU ARE CRABBY! (emphasis mine)

Me: Hunter, I am not crabby, you are crabby (yeah, I was really proud of myself for this response - I was really mature at that point..)

Hunter: I am NOT crabby, you are crabby, Mama, now stop!!

And all I could do was laugh because he was right and somehow, some way we have made an environment where Hunter is free to say and speak his mind as he sees fit. I like that. I hope he always feel comfortable within reason to TALK to me. He has a way of, like his Dad, speaking succintly and to the point and I appreciate that. He is only (almost) three yet God used him to bring levity and joy to an otherwise difficult moment. Just another time to thank God for these miracles he has given me...

A Happily Married Woman...

Friday night was the big night. MB, my boyfriend, my big night on the town to see Michael Buble. I talked about it ad nauseum and it was finally here. The day was bittersweet as my grandmother passed away this last week and her funeral and the concert happened to fall on the same day. Such sadness and joy all rolled into one.

But that just like life isn't it?

The seats were great, the company was better and the entertainment was beyond....

But the funniest thing happened to me as I was listening to him sing, as I was experiencing something that I could surely cross off my bucket list, as I was watching this...




All I could think about was him...



You see, every night when I go to bed after Sean, I find his foot and he wraps his toes around my toes and I happily fall to sleep. And as I sat there so tired from the events of the day, I just wanted to feel that foot....

Guess it just goes to show what a happily married woman I really am!
