Lets Go Digging!

So we were at a stop sign in our neighborhood and we saw 2 boys walking down the street with shovels.

Full-sized shovels.

My husband says, "I wonder what those boys are doing with those shovels"

The Boy quickly {and confidently} asserts, "Oh, they're on the school digging team."

I seriously almost peed myself.  

Where does that kid get this stuff?

"Digging team"?  Bwaahahahahahahahahahaa.

I love that he was both quick and confident in his response...these are traits I keep my eye on. You know. Since he's going to give me grandchildren one day.

And you and I will be sliding down ginormous, inflatable slides for said grandchildren. You know we will.

Great post. We are having a digging party. Yeah a family here wants a window dug for their basement. I will not be on that team. I will be out of town.

Congrats to the winners.

Me thinks the boy knew what was going on and was completely covering up for the other kids. He didn't want to lose out on his chance to find buried treasure with the other pirates...

And maybe my imagination runs amok sometimes. It happens.

Congrats ladies!

Well just naturally. That was my first thought. "oh it must be the digging team" and then your son said it and I was all "oh yeah mmhmm naturally."

Way to go Natalie and Kimberly...

Tiffany, your timing is impeccable..Natalie's little girl was diagnosed with Sensory Integration Disorder and borderline Asperger's yesterday.

I am confident Natalie's several days of focusing on "Optimism" prepared her to see how bright the future can be now that we have a few answers...we are all very optimistic and hopeful that "Princie's" life will be one of peace and happiness as we help her navigate her way through.

Thank you for inspiring us all!

Oh my gosh, I honestly can not believe I won! I actually have tears right now. I apologize for the emotion, but it's been a tough week, and I KNOW that the focus on optimism helped prepare me for my tough day yesterday.

Thanks Tiffany, really thank you!

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa...

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin...
