Life as I see it

So this weekend was great. Joey and I went to Busy woods, he rode his bike and I hiked after him (Oh for the love of Mike I need to get a bike!!) We probobly went about 1 or 2 miles in all. We walked down by the lake and saw all the fishing people. We had lunch. It was all very peacful and calm, in other words 5 years ago it probably would have driven me cravy. I would have had to turn on a loud radio or do something totally off the wall, but I find that I totally love quiet time with my son. Today I realized that I know a woman who never ever plays with her daughter. Basically she is the mother and the child is the daughter, their is no "Playing". Joey and I were having a wresteling match in the yard and this woman was basically agast that I was rolling around on the ground getting all muddy (Boy did she miss it the rainy day Joey and I went on our worm rescue mission) and generally haveing a great time with Joey. I love my son, nobody can ever try and say diffrently, but I also like my son, and to me that is just as important.
Joey knows when I am being MOM and he acts accordingly (Basicaly only listening when he chooses to), but he also knows that mom will be their for a wresteling match or a sword fight in the yard. I'm not one of those moms who wants to be his friend, my kid deserves a real mommy, not a buddy. I just want top be a mom he is comfortable being with, I don't want him to feel he always has to be great around me, I just love him as himself.
Thats the part I hope to God he always remembers!!!

Good Times

Last night Iwas supposed to go Downtown to dinner and house hunting with a friend, last minute it got canceled so I was sort of at loose ends. I had promised Joey he and I would be going to dinner with a friend, he wanted his friend Darn it!!! So at the last minute I call my Auntie/Cuz/Buddy Vicky. For those of you who have had the honor of meeting Vicky, you know she is insane. She convinced Joey that if he could ride his bicycle without the training wheels he could get his drivers lisence. My aunt is a complete nut, but we had a great time, lathough now joey wants a car with a gas tank!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Date

OK, so I had a great date this weekend. It was nothing big, just dinner and hanging out, but it was fun. We went to this place with like 200 diffrent kinds of beers and had horrible pizza, and then we watched the Surreal Life on TV. It may sound like nothing, but it was exactly what I needed at the time.

I'm sure their will be more to come in the dateing scene. As for Joey, he does not like Mommy dateing unless he can come with. I mean, how could I go for pizza without him!!!!
