HI Shellyville,

Today is going to be a lazy day. The kids are being entertained by Sponge Bob, Brian is outside and I am at my favorite place. Life is Good!

I really have a long list of little things to do, you know the basics of owning a home and caring for kids. However, as a stay at home I have all week. I don't have to rush around on Saturdays and do all my chores. I used to be a Saturday marathan girl. I grew up with a working mom.

Every Saturday was the same. A few minutes of cartoons and then the rest of the morning cleaning house to be kicked out after lunch and allowed to come back in when the street lights came on.

Life was so simple.

Who cared if you roamed the streets? It was a blast hanging out at the park with the neighborhood kids. I think all the moms must have had the same rule. Kids belonged outside! Now I have to unplug everything in the house to get my kids outside.

I do usually push them out after lunch. I can't believe how much life repeats itself. We really are the products of our environment. Of course, we have to hope that they are safe and don't get in trouble. I don't think my worries are all that different from my moms. The basic rule was... JUST DON"T EMBARRASS ME!

Yeah, that works!
Love,
Michelle
