So, today wasn't a very good day...had a migraine for most of the day and have a cough too. For anyone that has had these two components than you know what I'm talking about! "cough, cough" "OW, OW!" In the late afternoon I was trying to sleep and my little 4 yr old Parker was sitting outside my door pleading to be let in. Now, mind you, several of my other kids had requested the same thing and I told them that I was going to sleep and that I wasn't feeling good. They all went somewhere else to entertain themselves. However, Parker stayed at my door saying..."please, mommy...please let me in...please. He was begging, literally begging. I just couldn't stand it no more! I got up and let him in. Usually he likes to hang out with me and watch his favorite shows but he didn't even care about that. He said "thank you sooooo much!" and then plopped himself down on my bed and proceeded to talk my ear off. He first got out Logan's cash register because he had some money he wanted to put in. Then he used the price scanner to check how much my arm was and I was flabbergasted to find out that my arm was valued at 61.00 dollars. My neck came next and many body parts after that. Then, he told me that I needed to push his belly "button" so that I can have magical powers that only work on coyotes. Yes, folks, he's scared of coyotes. So, needless to say, I pushed the magic button. Guess what?! I could fly! Now I could fly over all the coyotes and never get eaten. Then he decided that our magic powers would be good for flying over Pumas. If anyone out there has seen Go, Diego, Go you might know that there are Pumas on that show. Crazy how they pick up on things. He was very descriptive on how we could escape these Puma's and with our magic powers we again SOARED over them all and landed safe and sound far away from these animals with lots of teeth! Unfortunately, his magic "button" stopped working, no matter how many times I pushed it and the poor guy just laid there telling me that it just wasn't going to work. However, I kept pressing it and all of a sudden he was able to jump up and fly again! What a miracle it was!
Lesson learned....make the most of your day....never keep a pleading child out...it was the best part of a lousy day!
Thanks Lahren for making the school "run" for me. You'll never know how much I appreciated it. Love ya sis!
