Random Ramblings

I decided I need to write once in a while about the things that randomly are discussed in our home. Things that they say I will forget when my kids are older and really miss. I want to remember some of them and think, why would I miss this! Ha! So, here is my first post of random ramblings in the Morton home...

***What do you do?***

So, I got the best question ever from my son today: "Mom. What do you do all day when we are at school?" Well, I proceeded to rattle off all of the tasks of motherhood and Noah interrupted, "Okay, I get it! You do all the dumb stuff that I hate doing. I am so glad I get to go to school instead of do chores all day." Kiah: "Well, you will have to do them when you are older done with school, though." Noah: "No, I won't! 'Cuz I'm gonna be a Dad and you have to be a Mom. So, I get to go play at work all day and come home and play with my kids while you make dinner and stuff." Okay, sometimes they really do know how to hit me where it hurts.

***The System Worked***

Today after school Kiah and Noah both had soccer practice. When we arrived there, right on time, I noticed Kiah's teammate in her uniform shirt... oh, great! Picture day! Dang it! Then, I freaked out thinking, "There is no way I can get home and back fast enough!" One of those "I failed as a mother today" moments. Then, Kiah yelled out, "Mom! My shirt and shorts and even my socks are all in my bag!" Yes, that is attributed to my system of washing them and putting them in the soccer bag so there is no hunting for anything on game days. This turned in to one of those "I rock at being a mom" moments, which does not happen very often, so I will take it!

***Sleepy Stairs***

Tonight Asa fell asleep on the top step to the bonus room. That is where he wandered to when all the house was asleep and Mom was still working at her computer. Then, of course, I heard a clunking noise, only to see him rolling in slow motion down from step to step. i ran up there so fast. Snatched the kid up only to find him still sound asleep. Kids can sleep through anything, unless you want or need them too!
