i think i may need a date night, fo sho....

1. the other day i was holding Lucas and actually felt his body temperature change. I looked at Joseph and said "oh Lord, Lucas is getting sick". Joseph looked at me like I was crazy...

By nightfall Lucas was running a 103.5 fever.

2. Today Lucas woke up from a nap and i saw that his hair had actually grown during the last 2 hours. I told Joseph this and he looked at me like I was crazy.

Lucas' hair is growing. I am with Lucas 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. I am actually around as his hair grows. It has to grow at some time....why not during his 2 hour nap...IT DID, I swear it did.

3. I am scared to move. When I move, Lucas remembers I am alive and cries for me.

When I worked, I was able to tell when a store was going to have a bad month before actually looking at the bottom line. I could tell before even hitting their income statement. I think I would mentally gather info throughout the month and know who was screwing labor over. If labor is out of control, a restaurant will NEVER make a profit.

I could tell you a "Future Partner", District Manager, or any other sort of higher up person, that they would never make it. I could call it WAY before the owners would ever even BEGIN TO THINK bad of that person.

Now I can tell you in an instant when one of my kids is up to no good. *I can tell you that Kamryn is the little miss temperamental but she will also help me in an instant when needed and leave me laughing in the process. *Summer Grace tattles on herself by saying "I love Kamryn and I will always be nice", which means she just terrorized Kam in some way. But she will also always ask for a hug in the most unexpected moments making your heart melt, and she is just such a little sweetheart. *I know exactly what every noise Lucas makes means. He can cry all day long and make me so impatient. But the moment he sleeps longer than expected, I miss him terribly and can't wait for the moment he awakes.

AND YES, each "talking" noise Lucas makes means something different, and I know them all. And I am in a continual growing stage with him. Right now we are in a communication stage. Last week, we were in a motor stage. Apparently he ditched the walking efforts for the "ba ba BA" sound.

So my point is....yes, I have a point......When I was working, I was on target with fact and my feelings. Now my work IS my kids for 24/7. So when I say their hair grew in the last 2 hours, then GUESS WHAT...IT DID. Cause all day I look at that head and so I know it!

When I say they are getting sick before they even have any symptoms....then GUESS WHAT!!!

THAT's RIGHT....cough cough

the power is with me.
