"My First Mom"
I talked with the boys this morning. They had a nice visit with their grandparents, their dad and dad's fiancee in Florida, and now the show is back on the road to St. Louis where Dad lives. They called me from the airport. Tucker had a moment when his dad was off at the ticket counter handling something, so he seized his opportunity and asked me, "Mom, did you know that my dad is getting married again?"
I assured him that I knew and that I was okay. (Really, by this point I'm mostly okay with it.)
Then Tim came back to the phone. I could hear the murmur of a voice in the background, I assume that would be the fiancee, and then he said, "I'm supposed to tell you the story of Tucker greeting Jenn the other morning."
It seems that Tucker met her at the curb and said, "Are you really excited about marrying my dad?"
She said that yes she was. And then he said, "Well you should know that he really bugged my first mom."
Is that as funny as I think it is? I feel MUCH better.
I love my kid.
Talked to Michael as well and he expressed some concern because our birthday is coming, a week from today. It's always been a special thing that he was born on my birthday, I tell him he was my best birthday present. Well, apparently they celebrated his birthday in Florida but he's concerned about his mom because I'll be all alone in Colorado for my big day. No cake, no party, no presents ... no Michael to remind me that I already have the best birthday present ever in my wonderful much loved son.
I love my kid.
Today I am packing boxes. Have made several trips to storage, one to Goodwill and I'm about to make a trip to the library to make a donation to the "friends of the library" bookstore. I'm making a dent. T-minus two weeks, give or take, til move day. And in that time - after today, I will have two days off. Better get back to work, suddenly it doesn't seem like I've done nearly enough!

and it's sweet that he's worried about missing the chance to share the day with you. you'll just have to double up on the fun when he's back.
Wonderful tales from wonderful kids! I'm particularly giggling about Tucker. The child's a genius. But you knew that
