Does the baby of the family exhaust all?

My brain is going to pop out of my head!!!! FOR REAL. Oh my John Christopher, how his wheels never stop turning. So if a question pops into his head as it does every 4 seconds on the dot, who do you think is around to be asked????? ME!!!

Okay, follow me on this one......... I am running around my kitchen like a chicken with its head cut off (which is really a gross and sad thing to think about) (**note to self - do not cook chicken for the next few days) trying to get my goodies made for Pastor Paul and Denise for Pastor Appreciation. As I am doing this I need to tinkle and blow my nose something fierce, but ain't got no time for that. RUN RUN RUN. And then, the questions start.

Mom what was your favorite item that I won from selling my fundraiser stuff? I answer quickly with "the light up thing you got". (he is totally in the dining room talking to me right now, as I type - "yeah uh huh I say." ) - Not having a clue he would then ask, what was your 2nd favorite. Oh good Lord, then suddenly remembered that he got 5 prizes!!! Yep, you guessed it, what was your 3rd, 4th and 5th.

He wants Vernors, of course it fizzes over when I open the cap. I don't have time for a pop mess. AHHHHHHHHH. Mom I love granola bars especially the chewy ones. Okay, where did that come from??? We were not even talking about them.

Mom Florida is 2 hours away right (by plane)?
How much is 60 plus 60 Mom?
Can I have a slushie Mom. I can make it, I know how. Dude, let me answer your first question before you asked 10 more!!!!

He was just in the bathroom, comes out with his pants down, wipe in hand... "Mom can I sit by you on the plane on the way back to Michigan?" Can the boy just finish up and then come talk to me????????

Can you call Freeway upstairs? Crap, he was just over my shoulder reading. Dang, he can read now. Had to shoe him away.

"Mom I didn't say I wanted Freeway upstairs? Why did you type that? Who are you writing to any way? QUESTION AFTER QUESTION AFTER QUESTION with this boy!!! I love him to pieces and he just exhausts me!! My poor brain cannot compute as fast as he goes!

Someday my dear daughter......oh you will miss those questions.

Trust me.....have to you talked to Shari these days, she thought it would never end either, and now that it has or I should say slowed down; Mom not needed in the same way anymore, ask her about sitting on the toliet ...(sorry Shari) and trying to visualize Rachel, and Alec as little ones running past the door yelling and screaming, she now has decided she wants to adopt babies all over the world into her life so she can have "questions/running and screaming past the bathroom door" again.

You think you will never get through it, but as I sit typing this now, tears are coming to my eyes because I wish I could have my sweet little girls asking me questions again and Me being their Mom be the smartest person in the world in there eyes, oh how I miss that....NOW I am crying.

Enjoy the moment, for it goes soooooo quickly! Remember you have boys, they will be with girls someday....Mom will fade, think about it.

Hey I was thinking about asking you for dinner for "CHICKEN" soup....LOL.

One more thing...Remember you were the baby and YES you exhausted me, but I would have it back in heartbeat if I could.

Thanks Mom...ha ha. :)

Remember when Alec was about 2-3 years old and would ask me tons of questions and end each one with, "Right Mom?".

I'd have to answer him over and over.

And yes, I do miss those days.

And I would LOVE to adopt a baby.
