Why I love my kids #100

My little princess stayed home today, sick, again. I was called to school yesterday because she had a stomach ache and was running a fever. It almost goes without saying... it's a long night whenever a child is sick. *sigh*

She wakes up, cheeks extra rosy, as they tend to blush when she runs a fever, and smelling of sweet Princess Pink Bubble Gum toothpaste, hugs me, and asks for breakfast. She knew exactly what she wanted. It took me all of 2 minutes to scramble an egg for her, warm up a flour tortilla, get orange juice, Pedialyte and water ready and on the table.

"Kiki... breakfast is ready", I sing happily to her.

She looks straight at me, eyes wide open, and exclaims, "Done already?! Wow! I didn't know you were that good of a Mom!"

Awwwww kids are so cute some times. They're even cuter when when they're other peoples kids and you don't have to deal with the not so great bits.

I think you should do a 'reasons why my kids suck' list ;)

Aww, everytime you write a story about your kids it makes me all squishy. I love kids, they're entirely too cute.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I've moved domains. :)
