Just when you thought they couldn't surprise you
Two items today--completely unrelated, though both on the surprise angle.
Number one. The Kiddo. Woke up today excited for pre-school. This is really quite normal. And pleases me to no end. Especially since he is entering Kindergarten in the fall. I can only hope that these feelings continue when he joins the ranks of what most people call "real school." Generally, I didn't have a problem with school. Like it even. At least until middle or high school when cliques and popularity suddenly was more important than the grades. Oh. And that thing called boys. They suddenly were more interesting, even though they weren't really into giving me a second glance. But I am digressing.
The surprise this morning, was after handing him a pile of pants from the dryer to choose as his attire for the day--he put the remaining pants away. Unasked.
Seriously, I walked back into his room to ask him if he'd brushed his teeth and was ready to go (which, he did and was), and it was clean. Pants nowhere in sight. I asked him, ever-so-nicely, "Did you put your pants away?" So innocently he responded, "Yep." And walked towards the door to put on his shoes and jacket. I swear, he's a teenager waiting to happen. At 5.
Now, for surprise 2. I have another home online at POSHmama.com. In fact, I write a weekly book recommendation column. Love the women, love the site owner, and well, have a good time talking fashion, books, gossip, and tech toys for the baby and me. It's about being a haute Mom, what's not to love?
Well, these lovely ladies (yep, you have to be a woman to sign up), honored me with an ity bity award today! Can you believe it? Seriously. I'm a bit verklepped. Or something. People VOTE for these.... and they picked, um me? I was never one for the popular crowd (like I said), so this is more than surprising, it is just flattering. Poshmama's out there... I'll wear the tiara proudly! Really. I twill look FABULOUS on the new still red hair. Oh and if you want to head on over to join us? Feel free, it's a fun little party we have going on.
That's it. I'm done with surprises for today. Not unless another good one drops on my lap. God knows, life wouldn't be fun without those.
