Omiword.
My kids are awesome.
Do you ever have that moment when the sheer amazement that your kids are fantastic and wonderful washes over you and you lose all sense of space and time and location and just start bawling???? Nope? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? No, just me?
Okay, well anyway that super happened to me this morning while I was watching my two angels wave at me and walk into school, leaving me in the parking lot completely beside myself. Just me and Jesus in the car, one of us a complete puddle of mush and the Other with His arms around the puddle whispering precious things. Some that are really none of your beeswax. But I will share this.
I tell some crazy stories about my little people...some of them good, some of them not. Let me just clear the air:
My kids rock the universe.
The end.
Amen.
They are so creative and thoughtful and amazingly talented and SO. Stinking. FUNNY! And smart. And CUTE! Omiword, they are so freaking ADORABLE!!!! I could give examples, but Al Gore would ground me for using up all the internet. So just take my word for it.
This is where Luke would use his famous phrase that makes me know something that feels like scolding is about to happen. "Harness this moment, Lyss." In other words, grab onto this feeling and don't let go. Because in seven hours I will pick them up from school, tired and thinking about everything that has to get done this weekend and they will be crabby and overflowing with information they MUST SHARE RIGHT NOW and then they will fight about who is interrupting who and then we will all be yelling and it will be very sad...all before we leave the school parking lot. That is unless I have "Harnessed this feeling." If I've truly been able to remember this moment and keep it in perspective, then maybe, while my angels are impersonating demons, I can wrap my arms around their wiggly, gangly bodies and tell them without a hint of sarcasm,
"I LOVE YOU!!! I MISSED YOU!! I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!!!"
We'll see...
