Don't Wake The Kids

Number One Secret of SuperMoms

Eleven

January19

Eleven years ago today you were born. I can’t believe it’s been that long already. I know you don’t want to grow up, but life is an amazing journey, and you are an amazing boy.

There are many things I love about you. Here are eleven things I love about you:

1. Your easy-going nature.

2. You are sweet and compassionate.

3. You love your family above all else – no matter how many hours you spend with your video games.

4. You’ll still let me hug and kiss you.

5. Your infectious laugh. You were born with it.

6. How well you sleep. I wish your brother and sister slept as well.

7. How smart you are. Your grasp of math amazes me.

8. Your love of music.

9. I’m proud of you for overcoming your challenges. You work very hard.

10. Your beautiful blue eyes.

11. You are wonderful person, and I’m lucky and blessed to have you for my son.

Happy Birthday, Jumpshot!

Love,

Mom

Don’t Wake the Kids is a blog featuring Sally and sometimes James, a husband and wife team, talking about their life – the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Together, they will put their life on display, imperfections and all, with the hope that you will find it uplifting, entertaining, and amusing.

About Sally

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a mother. God blessed me with three wonderful children, who keep me going. My husband and I have been married for almost 12 years, and he’s my best friend.

I work full-time outside of the home and try to volunteer as much as I can at my children’s school. I love to bake and accidentally found out about cakepops, and I can’t stop making them. I love to scrapbook, when I find the time, but I’m still intimidated by 12×12 layouts. I also like to crochet, but I’ve only made scarves. I use it to pass the time while waiting at the doctor’s office or practice or for meetings to start.

I try to have it all, and I hope my blog lends support to other moms who mess up, want to pull out their hair, but who wouldn’t want to trade their lives for anything – just like me.

People ask me how do I do it all. I am always flattered by this, and my answer is always the same – I don’t sleep. I only get a lot done after everyone falls asleep. James came up with the name of our blog Don’t Wake The Kids because of my nocturnal nature.
