Writers Workshop & A Mothers Response

That Mama Kat really get me thinking. Oh! She has a really cool giveaway too that you should check out.

"Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it."

Do you believe this? Describe a time when you feel like you could have responded a different way and produced a different outcome.

I think Motherhood is all about response. It is totally what your children see you do.

For example when I found this note that my seven year old had wrote in her notebook.
It is things like this that bring the popular thought into my head. Breathe Big Mama! Breeeeeaathe!!
It is in that instant, that I realize I could go totally frantic Googleing 'Modern Day Chastity Belts' or laugh it off and take the future drama one day at a time, as it comes.

Have your ever heard of how great and wonderful my little boy is. Especially that he is my only boy. Only new comers to my blog will not understand the depth of my gratitude of a boy in our home.

So when I see him sporting a new outfit, courtesy of his sisters, I have to take the 'freak-out' level out the back door.


So I decided that if I am going to freak out, do it. Into my pillow in private. Which is most often the case.

I like to go into the back yard...take a breath...mutter foul things...and then compose myself before I go back in the house. I spend A LOT of time in my backyard somedays, lol

Cute! I used to dress my little brother up as a girl (because I wanted a sister), and he turned out just fine ;)

Jeez. I had to write that same note just the other day while I was watching New Moon for the 100th time! And, I dress my dude up like a girl all the time. It's all good as long as they are younger than 5, right? RIGHT?!

Hilarious.
As a teacher I always love the things kids write...and think...and have opinions on.

Excellent! And he looks super gorgeous....I love finding those kind of notes - little insights into their psyche - even if it is a bit scary sometimes!
