Joy's thoughts and things

Circus Morning Thoughts and Things: This mornings activities brought back a flood of memories. Jack has been waiting his turn to sleep over. Even thought it was a school night his mother agreed, so he and his sister stayed the night.

I forgot how hard it is to wake up sleepy kids.

I forgot how hard it is to pull them away from cartoons to get them dressed. Then finally helping put each pant leg on as they stare at the T.V.

I forgot how many variety of breakfast foods you prepare just to get something in their bellies,

and how many times you tell them that eating a good breakfast is important to their learning.

I forgot how picky girls are about their hair. Since when do they not like ribbons?

I forgot that it is important to teach them to make their beds...who has time for that?

I forgot the sense of accomplishment and gladness as you send them out the door.

I forgot to brush Jacks teeth!

I do remember how much I like being a grandma.
