This morning was Muffins with Moms at Riley's school. Also, they got to wear Dallas Cowboy's shirts. Because they are out of school tomorrow they got to wear spirit gear today. (A picture sure would look good right here but of course I did not take my camera) I am hoping with this blog maybe i will take more pictures. So, as I sat in the cafeteria and afterwards driving to work I was thinking about a few things and things that I realized this morning..in no particular order...





1. I wish I was a stay at home mom. I am not sure why because I think I would get really bored but sitting with the moms this morning and knowing that I am the only one that had to go to work made me a little sad. Again, I think after a week the boredom would sit in but it would be nice to go to the gym everyday during the day, visit Wal Mart during the day and even maybe get involved in my church and attend a Bible Study class, and most importantly be more involved at Riley's' school. I do think that my house would be spotless and I would cook dinner every night. But then again.....I do love my job!!!!





2. My son is kind of a nerd!!!! Now don't get me wrong I love him more than anything and will be okay if he really ends up being a nerd in school rather than being one of the cool kids but let me explain. He is a nerd. but, honestly in 3rd grade what makes you the cool kid and what makes you a nerd. This morning most of the boys sat at one table with all of us moms at the other end. So much for Muffins with MOM....but actually Riley wanted me to sit next to him. He wanted to be with the kids but with me too. So, there are 2 little boys that I guess I would day are the cool kids. But, again what makes them cool. I mean they wear uniforms to school. The only things that set them apart from each other are their hair...which believe me is a big deal....their shoes....which everyone wears the same shoes...nikes, adidas, those stupid skater shoes.....and their backpacks....which again they are all pretty much the same. So, why are they cool.....is it because their moms are up at the school all the time or that they are funny or what.......because they are not cute kids......ok so that was harsh but there are only 2 cute boys in his class......at this age their hair is crazy and everyone has pre braces teeth well except for the 2 that have braces and they are the cute ones. So, I guess what I realized is that Riley is not a cool kid and I don't think will be.



3. I am a young mom. Yes, I had Riley young but I was 22. Yes, that is young and of course I was not ready for him and yes I was the first out of my friends to have a baby but 22 is kind of old. at least I was not 18 or something like that. So, because of this I am a young. Especially at a private school where most of the kids in his class are the younger siblings. I am not sure why this matters but it does bring me to the next realization...



4. I usually sit by myself at school functions and I don't think anyone notices that I am by myself. I do have 1 mom that I truly love and wish that we were FRIENDS..not just school and soccer friends. Maybe this is because my age and maybe because I am not rich...or I should say have money......but I work part time to make sure that he stays at a private school. I do not drive a nice car and would never have any one from school at my house. I would not want to embarrass my son. Anyway, I wish that I could be like all the other moms that just sit and talk and talk....but I don't....I just sit and talk to my son or think about crazy things like I am doing right now.



5. I am really fat and not an attractive person. I look in the mirror lately and realize that i am not very pretty and I am really chunky. I looked at all the moms this morning and realized they are all skinny and very pretty.....maybe because they stay at home and get to go to the gym and they can afford good makeup and good clothes....and most importantly plastic surgery.....which I would never dream of......ok that is a lie...maybe a boob reduction or some lipo suction would do me some good.



6. Last but not least.....I love my sons school. I mean I really love it. Everyone is so nice and always says hi and asks how school is going.......They make me feel so good and I know that Riley is getting a great education along with a great foundation of the Lord. BUT, sometimes I wonder if they look at me and say wow look at her.............she HAS to work, no wonder she looks a little frumpy and wow Riley is such a dork......and where does Riley get his little bit of cuteness because his mom is not very pretty.



Oh well until next time!!!!!!!!!!!
