Hit me with your "Pet Shop"!!

Ok, so I'm sitting here putting up pics and the movie 'Bring It On Again' that Dion was watching ends.  While they are rolling the credits the song 'Hit Me With Your Best Shot' comes on.  Dion's on the couch brushing her hair waiting for me to curl it (she's going through a stage, lol) and I hear her singing... 

'Won't you hit me with your Pet Shop!!  Oh oh oh oh oh oh...  Oh yeahahaheaeaeaea...'

So, I ask her... 'What are you singing, Dion?' trying not to die laughing.  She says, 'Hit me with your Pet Shop.'  I'm like, 'Uhm, ok... but what does that mean?'  She looks at me, confused for a second... I suppose wondering if I'm serious, cause she says, 'Uhm, Mom... it means you take a Pet Shop and you hit someone with it.'  'Well why would you do that?' I asked about to burst at the seams trying not to laugh.  'I don't know... I didn't write the song, I'm just singing it.' she says, condescendingly, as she's walking away.

Omgosh that child.  lol.  She is good for my endorphins.  lol. 

Instantly heart-broken, instantly...

So I'm sitting here shopping online and the kids are busy telling me what they want for Christmas.  Savannah just came up and grabbed my shoulder (with her Funyun chip covered hands) and said all excitedly with her eyebrows near her hairline... 

"Do you know what I want for Christmas, Mom!?!??!?"  

I say (fully expecting it to be something from whatever commercial was just on 15 seconds ago), "What, Hun?".  

...

...

...

"A DAD!!!" she says...

I'll be under my rock if anyone is looking for me.

Peace out.

I am NOT fragile! Who said I was!??! Oh yeah, me.

Okay so I was very obviously having a moment when I typed that last blog, and I've been meaning to return to rectify that situation but haven't made the time.  I'm not going to ramble on with a bunch of useless information and reasons why I am not fragile afterall.  I know, surprising huh?  Me?  Not ramble?!!??!  Is that even possible??!  But the people who matter and who care about me and my kids already know the sorted details.  The bottom line is that I have four of THE MOST amazing kids to walk this Earth, truly.  And considering what they've gone through in their short lifetimes they are the most deserving kids of everything they could ever want.  Which is why I'm going to work hard and diligently and make whatever sacrifices necessary to provide them with that.  And I know I can do it, even if it's just me by myself for the rest of my life.

So that's that.  And thanks to those who were supportive of my weak, self-pitying sob story and who encouraged me.  

God Bless!
