rick - i'm gggggrrreeeatttt! well.. pretty good. thanks for asking! actually.. it was something you said to bklyn on your post that really had me thinking.. it was your comment about being single w/ kids.

obviously given the choice i would prefer to have my M and my kids and live happily ever after but.. if i had to choose between having my M and giving up the kids or being a single mom w/ my 2.. hands down i would pick my babies any day of the week.

if i have to, i am prepared to take on that challenge of raising them to the best of my abilities. one of the things i would really want them to learn is not to be fearful to love. because when you love, it can have such amazing outcomes (like my 2 sweethearts). i also want them to understand that when they are given the gift of love, we have a responsibility to nurture it so that it can thrive. i hope one day, my children know how much i truly love them and that my fighting for my M wasn't just for me.

now i'm teary. ggrreeeaatt! lol

since i don't have my H to share these funny kid stories with.. i am going to share w/ you all! stop reading now if you hate cute kid stories!

S5 so he is doing a lot of.. trying to understand the bigger picture. tonight it was.. "i'm half south african". this is a fact. then he says "that's 'cause dad's south african and he's a part of me". and i say yes that's true. "and you're a part of me too mommy, i came from you". all the while i'm thinking.. please don't ask where babies come from!! then he plops himself down next to me and says "so i can speak african?". this is funny because last week he wanted to learn chinese. when i told him we were not chinese he said.. why not?

now here is my cute story about D2. she likes to stand on the bathroom counter in front of the mirror while she gets dried after her bath. today as she's standing there she says "i miss you". i asked.. what do you miss sweetie? her answer? "mirror" and then gives it a smooch. wow. i know she's gorgeous and all but.. this is beyond vain. lol
