Well here it is another Monday. New Year's Eve 2007; almost time to start a new year...this is a time to reflect on the past and concentrate on the future; live in the present. In 2007 we had births, deaths, joy, sadness, and everything under the sun! :-)
We had a good weekend; GO REDSKINS! Did our usual errand running; had a playdate. TJ decided that a certain toy was more important than a birthday party so be it. He had to choose; a large party or a large toy and he picked the toy. To me it is important he understand that he does not always get both. He has to learn to make decisions based on what is more important to him. He seems spoiled to most people but we do not always hand him everything he wants (even though some people beg to differ)! Which leads me to my next point. We had a visitor over the weekend and he just stopped in to say hi and somewhere in the conversation a point was made that SOMEONE has been talking about "us" maybe not so much the entire Reese Clan but a certain little boy named TJ. Now I have NEVER said we are perfect or he is perfect; or he can do no wrong; I know Thomas has his "issues"; as all children do. What burns my blood is that the person who is doing the gossiping (no names where given to us but common knowledge and process of elimination only points the finger at one possible person who is well known for their gossiping I am perfect attitude towards others) anyway; back to what I was "saying" I do not for one milisecond think TJ is anywhere NEAR perfect; let's be honest; he is a pain in the ass; he misbehaves; he has his naughty moments but he also has his good days; no great days! He'll wrap his arms around me and tell me he loves me for no reason; he'll be mommy and daddy's big helper when it comes to projects around the house; helping with baby brother, you name it he will do it; no child is perfect EVER so to the person who thinks you are perfect (you know who you are) let me be the first to let you in on a little secret you are not perfect; your family is not perfect; your life is not perfect; your children are not perfect so before you speak, think, because it will get back to whomever it is you are deciding to gossip about at that certain time and things always come back to bite you in the ass..
