Enjoy the moments

So, it's late at night and I'm thinking... Hmmm... I should blog about something.  I'm running in the morning, so I should blog tonight so that I don't have to try and fit time in to blog and run before I go to work.  Sounds like a plan, doesn't it?

But, as luck would have it, BOTH  of my children are still awake (Did I say it's "late at night"?).  My very s-l-o-w computer finally booted up and I am ready to blog.  AND my daughter has decided to sit on the desk (that the computer is on) and paint her toenails on the chair (that I would be sitting on).

My son is also in the room, watching her paint her toenails in amazement (well, maybe not in amazement).  They are both happy and talking to me.  I mention (a few times) that it is really late and they should get some sleep.  It's a school night.  And... no... they didn't listen (no comments on my mom skills here, please).

My daughter pulls out a book that she got for her birthday to share with me.  It's called Creative Cursing and it has two stacks of cards sitting side by side in it that you can flip in order to come up with creative cursing phrases.  Would you like an example?  How about "nipple fucker".  First card shows the word "nipple" and second card shows "fucker".  Yeah, nice eh?  These are the kinds of books that my children find amuzing. Great.

And then the conversation goes to other gross things that kids just love to talk about and I learn what a "blue waffle" is...  and I'll warn you now, it's NOT pretty (and I wouldn't suggest looking it up either. You won't recover). 

So... Obviously, my kiddies finally did make it to bed.  I did get to blog.  And because of them, I had something to blog about!  I also got to see their smiles, hear their laughter, hug them lots and learn about what they're talking about at school (which is really gross...).

Enjoy the moments.  Even if it delays blogging or your bedtime...  It's so worth it.
