Okay - I know that I am not necessarily the most "motherly" mother in the world. I have my own way of doing things. It doesnt mean that I dont love my kids, that they are not well taken care of or that I dont get proud of them. It just means that I am not that person who doesnt have a life outside of their kids. Yes, I am going somewhere with this. So, last week we started a new session at gymnastics. Most of the girls in Sarah's class moved up, so we got a lot of new kids. Which also means we got a lot of new moms. I almost killed all of them. They bring all their kids and let them run around and scream and annoy everyone around them and pay no attention to them whatsoever. And they squeal - the PARENTS, not the kids. Like 5 moms were gathered in front of one of the tvs where you can see the kids and they were SQUEALING because their kid walked across the floor or something equally as meaningless. They were loud, inconsiderate and completely obnoxious. Now, dont get me wrong, I am super proud of Sarah and think she is about the most amazing person I have ever met - but never once in her life has she made me squeal. Scream, cuss, stomp, laugh, cry ... yes. Squeal - no. I'm sorry if anyone reading this is a squealer or who doesnt think their kids annoy other people when you dont make them behave. Feel free to blog about the ways that I annoy you. I look forward to reading it.
On another note - Sarah didnt cry when I left her at school this morning! In fact, she told me to leave. Then when I was leaving, she ran across the room and hugged me with a big smile on her face. When she got back to where she was playing, she turned around and smiled and waved and said "Bye, Mommy!" So again, I cried all the way to work. Hey, I never said I was easy to please.
