Last night I started washing and organizing the winter wear for the boys. Coats, hats and mitts. Mitts, like socks in my house can be a bit of a challenge. The boys, CJ & the older one, have a tendency to play hard and sometimes lose things in the process. As their mom, and household psychic, I try to use my powers to keep it all together.
Keeping it together, can be a challenge. I myself have many hats. I am a business owner, a mom, a wife, a writer, a friend, a daughter, and a frugal shopper. And a hockey mom. Yes, a Canadian, hot chocolate swilling, cheering, hockey mom. Not one of those crazy screaming hockey moms. Whoa, definitely not. But I am passionate about my boys, their health and happiness. I also love to see them do well and be happy. I work hard every single day to make sure they are happy and getting what they need. Need... big difference from what they want. "Wants" are another topic!
My favourite hat right now is getting to know CJ and having fun with him. He's at the stage where he is starting to figure out who he is himself. Does he like to cook? Does he like to dance? Does he like to dress up? We try to figure these things out together. I let him take the lead, and I try to keep up. Yesterday we baked brownies, last week muffins and cookies. Tomorrow, I understand he wants pumpkin decorated cupcakes...
Right now, it's time to put on my dishwashing "hat" before I report for chauffeur duties.
