The Big Awards Show

My child got a perfect attendance AND an honor roll award today. The honor roll thing he totally gets from me, but the perfect attendance thing must come from Ed. The Brown's are smart, but we don't always show up ;-)

A Picture Sam did in Kindergarten

I just found it looking for something else. Blogger has this neat posting app for docs so I might post a few others too.

101th Post

So I slack sometimes, but 100 posts is somewhat impressive I think!

Real Life Moment -

Sam gives us his best muscle man pose and proclaims himself "A Green Bean Fighting Machine"

Ed and I busted out laughing and Sam said, "What?!"

Mom My Ride

For all my fellow Momobile Drivers and for their husbands who can't understand why the family car is always such a pit!

Thinking Back

This morning while in the shower, I had this flashback of Ed's Mother's funeral and my miscarriage. And it dawned on me that literally hours after his Mother was buried, in my own turmoil of the miscarriage, I said to him that I wanted to go home to my Mom. We left the very next morning. It never even dawned on me until this morning how hurtful that was for him to hear. His Mom was gone and all I wanted was my Mom. I know the whole thing was a difficult situation and I was scared of having a miscarriage away from my home, my doctor, and my comfort zone, but still did I have to cry about going home to my Mom?

Real life moment

We got Sam an athletic cup over the weekend. He wore it to practice yesterday and complained about it. I kept telling him to talk to dad about it and not me because before yesterday I'd never even seen one so I have no idea how its supposed to fit obviously.

Ed and I take turns going to the game or staying gone with Benjamin. Today is my game day. Sam complained on the way here and I tried to tell him that he'd get used to it.

Second inning he tells out to me on the way out of the dugout with his hand on his crotch in his loud voice, "Mom, I'm getting used to this cup." I managed to smile as I melted into my seat.

Life is good when

You put on a pair of pre-pregnancy jeans and they fit really well.

AND you put your hand in the pocket and pull out $5.

Life is good today.
