Good Tears

My daughter called this morning to say:

-Hope you don't mind Mom - I posted your blog to my facebook -

-MIND??? I'm thrilled because learning all the ins and outs of blogging
was a little overwhelming - and have not had a chance yet to navigate
around FB - thanks Ashley

-Also Mom - I've sent an email to Steve and Chris ( interior decorators
who have their own show )
-Hmmm - I don't know about that Ashley
-But Mom - what if they call you - wouldn't that be fabulous?
-They are not going to call me Ashley
-You never know Mom
-OMG - what am I going to wear - I'd better start planning
-They're on hiatus Mom - you have awhile to figure that out

LOL

And I have to post her email - it made me a little weepy -
but it made me smile and feel all mushy inside.
Oh how I love my kids - 
I have friends that used to say that all the time - and I used
to think why do you always have to verbalize that - isn't that
a given? ( although we do say it to each other constantly, I
do not ever think to tell people that I love my kids!!! )
Today I need to verbalize it - shout it out to the world -
let it bounce around the blogmosphere - allow my fingers
to dance on the keyboard with these words.
I Love you Ashley
I Love you Lindsay
I Love you Gordie

And yes I used to change their rooms around while they slept - who the hell does that?
If John didn't weigh 190 lbs, trust me, I would be changing our room around while he
slept too
