It's Baaaack!
Money in the Bank...
Dear Krylon Semi-Flat Black,
I thought I was dreaming when I saw my favorite spray paint at the store. You left for awhile, and I prayed to the spray paint Gods. You're back and now all my chipped-up tables and chairs and stools and shelves and frames will be pretty again. And not glossy!

PA (pacifiers anonymous)
JAKE: Hello. I'm Jake. And I'm an addict.
(hello, Jake)
JAKE: I'm addicted to my pacifier. Last night was my first nights sleep without a pa-pa. It went ok. This morning I told my mama that imma big boy and not a baby. I think I made her happy. I'm taking this one hour at a time. It's not easy.

Funny Guy
Tonight's Dinner Conversation--
After seeing a commercial on TV about homeless children John and I have been discussing this issue for many moons...
Bringing up this conversation again John says to me, "Mom? The kids without moms and dads, their sad, right?"
"Right." I say. "Aren't you so lucky to have mommy and daddy to live with you and love you forever?"
"Yea. And you will always be here?" He asks.
"Yes, always, Son. Even when you are big and old like Taylor." I reply. Taylor is John's 2nd cousin (18 yrs old, just graduated HS,) who he refers to as big and strong and old and like a super-hero.
John says, "When I'm big like Taylor and I'm married?"
"Yes! When youre married, when you're older." I said.
"Mom, you promise you'll be there when I'm married? And Daddy too?"
John asked.
"Yes, Son, I promise I'll be there."
God willing, I will be there. John is so so so present. As if he just talked to God a few moments ago, he knows what's important. I love my tender little guy.

Did I Ever Tell You About The Time...
In the spring and summer of 2007, Mike took Johnny with him to the high school during football practice, to give me a much needed break from John. Jake was a little guy, just born in Spring 2007. (Who knew that taking care of a baby and a 18 month old would be a lot of work??) One day, after practice, John came home from the field covered from head to toe in mud. It wouldn't be the last time...
