Rules of Summer Countdown: #7 Stay Safe Foul

As parents we will try our darnest to make sure you don't get run over by a car. (we tied a rope to your shorts and it has worked marvelously in the past.)

We would appreciate it if you would not thwart our efforts by undressing. It's neither amusing nor helpful.

Also ditching the shoes just rubs it in. (Max is in full sprint headed for the forbidden asphalt)

Are you going to install an alarm or would that be a signal to call the fire department ?

Tying a rope to your kid: fail.
Being able to undress yourself already, Max: Win. Total win.

Oh you are wrong, it is amusing. If you tied it around his neck he'd probably find a way to get his head off, no?

So for I am loving the rules of summer, especially the going to bed one. We "mean" (not my word, a 6 year old child I know) moms RULE!! They just don't understand it's for their own good and safety.

My kids weren't that smart. However, I found a dog leash worked great.

Why I totally rule: How I rediscovered my chi

(In order to fully appreciate this post, you MUST put on the background music. Just click the play from youtube. This has potential to be a longagong post so you might as well enjoy some tunes. I did most of my training with these gentleman blasting in my ear. Vampire Weekend, I love you.) Here's the story with the gory details. Why do you tri? On October 18, 2004 I delivered a 16 week old boy in the same room of the American Fork hospital that I lost one six months earlier. (I get pregnant really easily.) The previous week I had seen the doctor and everything was looking good and right on track so yay for me. While the first one was devastating (a whole other post for a whole other day), it was number 2 that changed me. I was so angry at my body for betraying me and not letting me do what I wanted it to do. I figured I was doing all the "right things" with the taking care of myself so therefore, I would be able to carry the babies to term and everyone would live happily ...

I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord, but Primary?!

Brad took the picture of me teaching GD a year ago. I was not pleased. No pictures. Brad took this picture of Max while I was teaching GD a month ago. I was pleased. Pictures of Max are fine by me. Some important thoughts on my new calling: In the 21 years since I have been in Primary as a merrie miss (apparently they are not called that anymore), I have subbed a handfull of times. It was not a success. One time, while subbing for Brad I went into the class and the boys had escaped out the window. All I saw were a set of feet as the kid was leaping out. Another time, while subbing for Brad I used the tie some kid was using and irritating everyone around him with and TIED HIM TO THE CHAIR. Another time, while subbing, the kid sliced his finger on the chair (not the same kid and he was not trying to escape my tying him up.) and ended up in the ER. (and it so happens that his mom is my 2nd counselor. I think that's funny.) I really really really loved teaching Gospel Doctrine. I hope ...
