As I sit here relaxing for the night I am trying to come up with something to share about our day today. Today seemed so normal although come to think about it, it really wasn't.
The boys, Kirby and Monkey Dude Jr, both finished helping to clean up guy land...and the bathroom; both without incident or accident. You know come to think of it they both got along in the process and didn't fight or argue. That is almost amazing! I am going to try to focus more on the times they don't fight and argue rather than the times they do.....it might make a difference.
Monkey Dude Jr and I put together the dinner menu for the week so when Wolfman called me at work to find out what was for dinner I referred him to Monkey Dude Jr. (MDJ). MDJ was so excited he called me to tell me his dad asked "Him" what was for dinner instead of me. I of course made myself sound excited for him.
I have to remind myself of the innocence of childhood and how the small things mean so much! I told him early on when we planned the menu that he would have to remember what was for dinner so in case anyone asked or I forgot he would know.
I just love the way when I asked him tonight what was for dinner tomorrow, that he puffed up and puffed out his chest, smiled and told me what it was. He was so excited that he remembered and of course you have to make a big deal about it.
The small things that make their day. :)
Kirby didn't have the best of days. He called me at work after school like he usually does and said , "Mom, you need to go online and check my grades." My eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw them. He isn't doing great at all; We will work through it like we usually do and things will come together. Mom has to get a lot more involved in homework time at home.
Its a team effort on our end.
Wolfman is preparing for his weekend. He works Thursday through Monday and has Tuesdays and Wednesdays off. I work typically Monday through Friday so Wolfman and I never see a day off together. It's the sacrifices of having to work what is given in todays market. I am very thankful we have jobs.
Nothing exciting for our day but definitely very lucky!
Until next time.......
