I stand corrected. (yep, I miss-spoke)

Now, I’m not too sure what miss-spoke means… is it like lying by accident? or just making a mistake when speaking? If that’s the case, I should say I miss-wrote the last time I blogged. My son, my youngest son, the comedian of the family, informed me that he was 14 when he wrote that poem about ‘raising birds’. I think he’s right, as my youngest daughter wasn’t born until he was 10. You know you’re getting ‘up there’ when your kids remember better than you do. I mean, come on….. all you moms know that the most used words in a kids vocabulary are I forgot! For example, who hasn’t gone through this routine on a school morning? Did you brush your teeth? I forgot! Did you do your homework? I forgot! Did you make your bed? feed the dog? comb your hair? I forgot, I forgot, I forgot!!!! You know this was always said in the most annoying, high pitched, whinny voice….. one guaranteed to start the day out with guilty delight at seeing the last of the little darlings as they ran off to catch the school bus. Ahhhh, so nice to be the parent of adult children with little darlings of their own. Only now the shoe is on the other foot. “Mom, did you forget to take your medication, again?” lol

Let’s hope they don’t ever need to feed or change you. That’s too much of a circle of life.

Oh my God. That’s just too horrible to think about! Besides, that’s why I married a younger man. He’ll take care of me, he promised. Til death. lol

Thank you, I am so proud that I did it, it’s hard for me to try new things. John was proud of me too, he’s the one who wanted me to put it on my profile.
