It's been 18 years since I first opened my in-home child care business. So many things have happened during this time. I'm quite sure I've experienced every emotion there is. I've cried and I've laughed. I always thought the child caring experience would make a terrific book, but who has time to write? I'm running after kids all day! Although writing a book is on my "bucket list." And I have in fact written a children's book that I would love to have published. All I need is an illustrator. Visions from my head absolutely do not make it to paper. Not my thing. But oh, how I've gotten off the topic.
Another thing I've always wanted to try is writing a blog. This is a definite first for me and I'm not terribly sure where to start. Who would possibly want to read this stuff anyway? Perhaps my family. Maybe some other providers out there who just need a story in the middle of their day. Who knows? I suppose I'll begin by just writing for myself.
I have so many stories. Someday I may go back and recap some from the past. But for now, here's what happened yesterday.
The kids were spinning in the living room. This was after preschool time and while they were waiting for me to get lunch on the table. Kids love to spin. There was a time I thought getting dizzy was fun. I used to be a great amusement park guest. However, three pregnancies took care of that. I can no longer get dizzy! urp
Anyway (off track again) the kids were spinning. A* came running into the kitchen and had his hand covering his privates. He asks, "What is this thing called that is next to my penis?"
Quizically and cautiously I replied in a questioning manner, "A testicle?"
"Yeah, that's it. Well I need to rest because it got crunched."
At this point in any exchange, I typically find myself holding back the giggles that are lurking behind my smile. And so I replied to A*, "You're right. You should probably take a rest."
He didn't. I think he just wanted me to know. He ran right back out of the kitchen and proceded to continue spinning.
