Smiles

Today I was a pretty happy Mom !!!

I try to be everyday but some days it is better to just put that smile on & do the best I can.

Today was lunch bunch day at school. I love going spending time w/ my kids. Sometimes I do the one on one on there day they have set a side but today I did all three children. Jennifer eats at noon , Ridge eats at 12:30 & Thaniqua eats at 12:45. Ridge has band on his lunch recess so I had been outside with Thaniqua. I came in & of course Ridge was w/ his friends & some girls :) . I gave him a couple extra snacks & talked. I went to get up & Ridge stood up & gave me a hug & kiss. I was shocked. Most of the kids at the table said Ridge you still kiss your Mom. Ridge said I Love My Mom & she took time out of her day just to see me. I love my boy !!

Last Thursday morning I had to speak to another teacher about Ridge's payment for his upcoming trip. When I was walking down the hall we met a few teachers , then we met a sub teacher who knew the girls. Ridge was outside with his friends. We talked & Mrs P went on to tell me she didn't know Ridge was my son. She told me when she was subbing for his class about six weeks ago Ridge along with a few others had been talking so she had to get after them. That day after class was over Ridge went up & told her he was sorry for talking. She was shocked that a student would say anything being that she was just a sub. I was very proud of him , she told me you should be. I guess she even told the office that day she was so blown away.

So being a parent is tough at times & times I wonder if those kids are really listening to us. After hearing something like that makes me Smile :)
