I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day. All though I have not been on much I am hoping to get back into the swing of things soon.

My day was wonderful I got the best gifts ever you know those little things kids make as they are growing up.

The two oldest Darian (14) and Cullen (10) made me cards. Which I so prefer over store bought ones because it is from them and their creativeness.

My two youngest gave me those precious little projects they make in daycare. Geneva (soon to be 2) made a cute little picture on a canvas that you can hang. Well a picture that a 2 year old can make LOL it is painted all brown. Isaiah (5) made me a cute fan which he painted.

The best things in life are truly free.

This morning as I was writing on my other blog I saw someone was in chat and decided to go in. There was Rosie and we were talking about how much fun chat was at one time.

I am sure everyone stopped going in there because the constant fighting and what not but maybe we can all try this again as it is no fun chatting alone.

So what do you guys think? Want to start going in there again? I myself loved being able to write a post and then go into chat and have a laugh, help a friend or have someone be supportive of me.

For those of you who are new to Blogstream perhaps going into the chat room can help us all connect like a family like we used to be. I for one am going to make more of an effort to go into chat, so see you there!

As if parenting wasn’t hard enough, here comes You Tube. Tonight I find my oldest Darian (14) watching a You Tube video trying to make a taser out of a disposable camera!!!!!

I never thought of what they could find like that, all though I should have the internet is filled with enough of dangers.

Well this being said the computer is coming out of his room.

I took the older boys to the park the other day. It was nice to be able to sit back and relax just watching them play instead of running after a toddler but I still had the Mommy guilt of not taking Geneva (1/12) with me.

Cullen (10) and Isaiah (5) ran after each other playing tag and Darian (14) practiced skateboarding. Then some more kids on skateboards came and they joined Darian. I smiled watching him make friends and learning new tricks.

As a Mom I have some great ears I can pay close attention to a conversation I pick up on without anyone knowing I am listening to them. I tuned in to a conversation these two teens were having who had just left the basketball court.

I hear them agreeing how they were both in bad moods and that they should beat up the skateboarders. Of course my motherly protection starts a brewing and I am ready to cuss them out but I also realize Darian is a teen and I can’t always fight his battle.

So I hear these kids go on and on about how lame skateboarding is and how their going to kick their a**es. They ended up leaving with nothing happening of course their bark was worse then their bight.

It saddened me to see how judgmental people can be. Just one more stereotype out there and one other hated group of people, sad really sad.

They say kids know more then we think they do, but damn. Just the other day BF and I were watching the kids play a car video game then the words “rim job” came on the screen.

As adults we gave each other the eye and the smirk then out of no where both the older boys, Darian (14) and Cullen (10) laugh too. I was amazed, no there is no way they know what that is. So I asked them and damn sure they explained it to the T.

I only learned about what a rim job was senior year in high school and here these two are all ready knowing what it is.

So I guess it this little conversation opens the doors to sex education at home as I would much rather them find out from me then their friends.
