doing nothing....

I have feared that my home, now that my children's father and I are divorced, would become the "boring" place to be. Some weekends I just want to "be" at home and do laundry and clean up our place and read and play Hello Kitty bingo or Monopoly.

I want the security of the mundane.

Sometimes I get the nagging feeling that his place is the fun house. They always seem to be doing these fantastic things. Sledding, going to the movies, making forts, having parties complete with cupcakes.

Yesterday when I mentioned to my boy that we'd had a fairly boring day, and wondered what he wanted to do, he said, "I just like it when we're here together".

That makes me soooo happy!!

Sometimes our sons just come up with the perfect things to say. And he spoke from the heart. What a great kid.

I used to struggle with this with my oldest son. His dad had MUULAH! And they did really cool things that I could never do. I'm not bragging or anything....but I still got the closeness in the bag. Fun activities are great and all....no doubt. But they want our hearts more than anything. And they know they've got yours. Heck, I've got yours and never even seen your sweet face. We must change that!

Melissa - from years of experience with children (I do daycare) believe me that the one thing children can't ever get too much of is their parents love and affection. It doesn't matter what you buy for them or where you take them or what activity you do for them - what they really, really want is the love and attention from their parent. Good Job Mom!!!

So I pulled out the old credit card -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-ValveDock-with-Speakers.html]Fatman iTube Valvedock[/url] and I've gotta tell ya I am pleasantly surprised. I actually listened to one at a friend's house a few months back and just couldn't get that music out of my head because it impressed the heck out of me. I searched high and low for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I rang them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and made the purchase. Dispatch was fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they ship outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

Best accessory I could have bought...
