Sam, I'll always be your Mommy!

Well I can not believe the number of people who have stopped me to ask if I was ever going to update my blog. It was nice to see I was missed or should I say that stories about my little ones were missed. I am going to recount for you a cute story that happened this weekend. Sorry for some of you, this will not be original since I already shared this with you.

Friday morning I shared with the children that I lost my wedding band. It just falls off when my fingers get cold, I can not get it adjusted because when my hands are hot my ring size increases an entire size. Well this just means that my ring finger is purple when my hands are warm / hot or the ring falls off when I am cold. I try to be careful but the ring falls off when I am sleeping, take out the trash, fold laundry, vacuum, etc... so I am always looking for it. On this occasion I looked all over and could not find it so I decided to mention it to the children. Sam was very affected by this and I could not understand why. He was real frantic about having to find this ring. He wanted to know exactly where I was when I noticed I did not have the ring. I explained I was in the shower, and I just noticed he goes running into the bathroom and pushes the sliding door to the shower way to hard (normally would have required discipline) but I new he was just trying to help. I heard toys shuffling on the tub floor and Sam scream, Oh, come on...I finally stop Sam and say what is wrong? He said, Mom if some one sees that you are not married they will marry you and you will not be my mom. I just looked so puzzled at him. I finally by the grace of God explained to him that my wedding band does not make him my son but that mommy and daddy are still his mommy and daddy even if we loose our rings. He seemed OK with this answer but he was wiping away tears fearing that I would no longer be his mom. It really was to precious.
That is my Sam.

Please keep the children in your prayers as they are complaining of hurting eyes, sore throats, heavy heads and are feverish. I am armed with the antibacterial cleaners and rug shampooer! This will be an eventful evening and I will be sure to keep you posted.

God Bless
