a little note on intimidation...

i had to share this with someone and i know none of my neighborhood reads my blog, so i'm safe to type it up here...

just a little background on me. i am so far from perfect its sad. i am very intimidated by spiritual people (i always think they are judging me). if you have raised "perfect" children i'm even more intimidated.

and now here is the story... me and a few ladies from my neighborhood do a co-op preschool. all the other ladies are very spiritual and 2 of them have older children that i pray my kids act half as good as they do. in other words these ladies scare the tar out of me!!!! since starting the preschool back in september i have grown to love all 3 of the ladies, and only one still frightens me. it made my whole day when the following conversation took place over snacks last month...

g: who tooted (cause these aren't the kind of kids to say fart)
r: i did!!!
(lots of laughter from all 4 boys)
g: last night my mom tooted and it stunk so bad my dad almost threw up!!!

needless to say i had to leave the room so i didn't bust a gut in front of the kids. and no, i didn't tell his mom what he said. she's the kind of lady that would pack up and move over something like this... (i say this in a very loving way).

and then today when we were playing a game "g" lost and out of his little lips came the word "damn it!"... i pretended not to hear, but i had to get up and walk out of the room again.

am i terrible? i seriously love this lady more now than ever! her kids are not "perfect" (although very close) and her farts stink just like everyone else's!!!! and no, i didn't have the heart to tell her about her sons potty mouth.
