For the first time ever, one of my kids asked me what I do during the day while they are at school!!  I’m honestly surprised this hasn’t come up before.  However, maybe it’s just occurred to them that this school year is the first time that I have no kiddos at home!

This leads me to the cutest little conversation I had with Drew this morning before school. He said, “Mom, what do you do all day after we get on the bus?”  I said, “well, I do a lot of different things but I go to the gym right away.”  He said, “and then what do you do?”  It was clear to me that a vague answer was not going to cut it with this detail-oriented little guy.  So, I started listing out all the things I do all day.  Then it occurred to me that maybe he was just trying to coerce me into bringing him lunch at school!  They beg us to bring them lunch at school.  So I said, “are you wanting me to bring you lunch to school today?”  And he said, “no, I just thought maybe you could take a hot bath and relax…maybe you should do that sometime.”  Well there you have it…wise words from an 8 year old!  Drewy, I should definitely take your advice more often.  You are one smart boy!  I love you to pieces.
