Its been a long week...yes, I realize its Tuesday.
Move over Reality TV moms! Today, I fed my son waxy donuts from a gas station because I was rushing around and put him in the car with no breakfast...1/2 way to school "mom, I am hungry"...thanks Amoco...dressed in workout clothes all day and saw gym...donut kid had no dinner because he didn't like the Boston Market sandwich we ate en route to rehearsal...got the kids home @ 9:30 on a school night...Reality.
This experience with the kids in The Wizard of Oz is one that I will never forget for many reasons. The biggest is that spending this time with the kids and watching them learn and grow in a production. I am so proud of Keely for her willingness to try something new...with the only familiar being her mother. She has no girlfriends or buddies to share this experience with..so, I get to enjoy being indulged by default. We have discovered some "between you and me" jokes, we lean against one another when we are tired. I catch myself watching and enjoying her more completely then if we were passing one another in the hustle of the spring sports season. And Aidan...he seems to find fun wherever we are. He just jumps in with no apprehension...no fear of acceptance ...just pure and genuine 7yr old heart.
So, as crazy as these nights have been...and exhausting too, I am so appreciative of getting to share it with them...oh, and meeting some amazing new people too!
