More to brag about…
I’m a blubbering idiot.
When am I going to be able to handle my children’s rights and passages in life with some grace?
I held in the tears as best I could. But I could NOT wipe the HUGE grin off my face as I watched my first born hoola- hoop for his P.E. assembly last week.
He gets it from his momma! I was Good Enough family reunion hula- hoop champion when I was, like…9?
It couldn’t have been easy for him, a 6 year old, with his daddy’s physical disposition towards…well…girth. And he was one of two asked to participate out of his class. It was very exciting. To make it into the performance he had to hoola-hoop for over a minute straight!
I was so thrilled.
But honestly, I would like to stop shedding tears over matters such as these and just have a pleasant, un-embarrassing afternoon! So help me!
Good Enough
hula hoop!? That’s awesome!
Congrats! Nothing wrong with spilling a little emotion over your son’s success. (Looks like he inherited some of your ability to groove!)
That’s so sweet! Hey, I cried at my little nephew’s baptism…..Now that was embarrassing! LOL!
Thanks for the comment on my blog! If you’re interested, my other webpage is www.islandesl.com !!
PS. You are now on my sidebar!
Me too!!!! I cry over other kids too. What is wrong with me?
I cry every time I happen to be in one of my kids’ classrooms when they are saying the Pledge of Allegiance. I’m right there with you, don’t stop, it is a sign that we are still affected by simple pleasures in life. It a GOOD thing.
OKay i’m glad you get teary over the pledge. I get teary over ANY patriotic song as well.
I could make a whole list on things that make me cry!
I used to be a rock that tears could not be squeezed from, and that got awfully embarrassing at times. Having kids cured me of that problem. Be proud of those tears, their yet another sign of how much you love your kids. And there’s no shame in that.
I wish I was more of a cryer… sometimes I think “What’s wrong with me?” Sigh… when I took my oldest to kindergarten all the mom’s were wiping tears, the kids were crying for them to stay… my son and I gave each other a hug, a high five and went our merry ways! No regrets! I’m crazy, I know…
I have friends that hardly ever cry. I admire them, believe me. It’s not a choice. If I could choose, I would save my tears for the bigger moments in life. I cry over darned near everything. My son doens’t though. Thank goodness.
