I may have had a teeny tiny, itsy bitsy, emotional break down this past Sunday.
I was sick with the flu and could hardly keep my head up and my eyes open.....
Bill and Madden were out of town.
I spent 5 1/2 hours on my stupid work computer trying
to get some time off the next day......
(I was scheduled to work 14 hours on Monday....
one of the perks for working for Jetblue is the
ability to TRY to get work off the day before....)
But to no avail. I got zero minutes off.
I broke down in tears and left
my other three children to fend for themselves
and crawled into my bed around 5:30pm
feeling VERY sorry for myself!
Mason woke me up around 10pm.
"Mom, Macks and Marley ate dinner,
we watched two Disney movies,
I brushed both their teeth, put them in their
jammies, and made them both go pee.
And now I'm climbing in bed....
just wanted to let you know."
I cried some more....
but this time I wasn't feel sorry for myself at all.
I was feeling extremely blessed to have such a great kid.
The next morning I wake up and find this
on the kitchen counter:
I wept some more!
I dare you to find a more responsible,
(NOT when it comes to remembering to bring home his lunchbox from school, or turning in his homework....but when it comes to the IMPORTANT stuff ;)
kind-hearted, thoughtful
11 year old kid anywhere else on this planet!
I double dog dare you!!

I maybe just shed a tear or two while reading this... That is soo sweet. What good, DARLING kids you have!
All of your posts about the sweet things your kids do, make ME cry. You've got four of the greatest kids in the world. Mason truly is the best eleven year old I've ever met. He is so smart, so thoughtful, and he's got the biggest heart. What a lucky mom you are.
Okay so this honestly made me tear up. mason really is the sweetest best kid around. and how cute were their notes. I love them all to death. I'm so glad your feeling better. Love you all
He is amazing! He was so shockingly responsible and grown up on Monday I couldn't get over it. I love him
This made me bawl. I want one just like him, please! Wanna trade? :) what a lucky mom and son! Love you. xo
I think Marley knows best what is important.
