Manic Monday: My Circus

Hello everyone! It is quiet around here lately, but I will continue to blog. I love it and don't really care who reads. I know there are some lurkers out there that read, but do not comment. I don't mind. Do what you gotta do!!

Aidan has 2 days left of Preschool. He is very excited about it, especially graduation on Friday. I am excited for him, too. He has grown up so much in the past 2 years. We are having less temper tantrums and more grown-up responses to things. Let me say, though, that he will never lack in passion. He will probably always be sensitive, unless he grows a thick skin. He is like Jonathan in that regard, I think.

Emma, on the other hand, is turning into her own independent little person. (read: she's becoming a Terrible two!!) It's a good thing she's cute!!

Took Emma shopping today. It was nice to just have our last little bit of alone time. I will miss that part of our week. I am sure she will, too. I will have to make sure to set aside time for each of the kids when we start babysitting Maggie full time. I try to, anyways.

Tonight I am off to the Cheesecake with my Small group women. We are leaving our husbands and children at home. We haven't done this yet this year. It will be a nice change. Perhaps we will get to visit more!! That will be good.

Tomorrow night I am going out with a lady that organizes the worship/teach time at Promiseland. We tried to get together last week, but she was having some issues with car keys and shopping with her son. We are going out for supper, which will give us a lot of time to talk and visit. I am really looking forward to it.

Wow, I have a busy social calendar this week!! That's okay, though. It is nice to visit with people my own age as opposed to 2 year old and 5 year old conversations. (Although Aidan's conversing is highly intelligent!!)

Well, it is only 2 more sleeps until the in-laws arrive. My house still needs some work and I am babysitting Maggie for awhile tomorrow. No worries. Somehow everything will get done. Until then, enjoy the Manic Monday!!

If you joined the circus, what act would you most want to perform?

(Who needs to join the circus?? Don't I live in one already??) I would like to be a trapeze artist, although I am afraid of heights. So, I guess I would be a clown. It is fun to be a clown, especially when Jenny and I do it together!!

Would you generally be overdressed or underdressed at a party?
Probably over dressed. I like to dress up when I go out. As a stay-at-home mom, getting to dress up in girly, adult, non-play clothes is a lot of fun!!

Do you feel that children should be sheltered from unhappiness?
Ummm, no. Listen stuff happens. Things happen. Life happens. No point in trying to sugar coat everything. It will not help them later. (Man, I am a cruel and horrible parent!)
