Baton Rogue
Baton Rogue is my favorite Louisiana city. I love it. I know that lots of people do not like how bad the traffic has become or how big the city has grown since Katrina, but I still love it. Obviously, my kids love it too. This morning, early-early morning, I was awakend by my eldest with "I’m dressed, mommy." It is pitch black dark and I squint to look at the clock and it reads 4:00am. Holy crap. 4 AM ? I politely told him to get back in bed and he proceeds to crawl into my bed fully dressed. Arghh. At least we got another 2 hours of sleep. lol.
I love spending time with my friend there. We can go months without seeing each other and pick up immediately where we left off the last time. I love it that she has so many schooling tips for me. I don’t know what I’d do without all of my teaching buddies. It is also nice to see another person not have perfect children. Woohoo. Didn’t make me feel so bad in regards to some of the not-so-stellar children’s behavior, today. . Now, I did have to stop my Godson from killing a tree frog. I have no idea what he was thinking. I love my little froggies. I guess my daughter got that part from me.
I love my children. I love my life. I wish my house was lighter on the inside, but otherwise, I love it, too. I’m in a happy mood today. It’s been a terrific Tuesday in my book - despite the freaking storm that I had to drive back home in. Whew. Can’t say that part of my day was much fun. I’m exhausted now. My Jr League meeting tonight was a little longer than I was expecting. I’m headed to pass out.
Sleep tight.
