Their safe place

I realized yesterday that I am my kids safe place. When I called upstairs to my three year old, it made my one year old jump. He immediately ran, arms wide open, into my chest... Later, when my older daughter was disciplined she wanted to "hold you".

It occurred to me that I now need to show them where my safe place is. Not food or alcohol, but in the arms of God. I just have to remember that myself.

Things that I am slightly embarrassed by

1. I enjoy listening to John Tesh on KFSH. I like his little todbits of information.

2. Most of the time I would rather watch TV, a reality show -- that's right! -- than read.
2b. I can rewatch an episode of "Project Runway" or "Top Chef" ten times. And on Bravo, that's is very possible.

3. I read the Life etc. section of the paper first.

4. I have to really focus when I read a story in the paper on the middle east. And I am not that interested anyway.

5. I like being alone after the kids are in bed. I really don't mind that my husband is at work. I kinda like the time.

6. I read Rosie Odonnell's blog almost daily (she updates it at least once a day). www.rosie.com

7. I REALLY enjoy playing with play-doh. I bought "my daughter" all of the accessories. The the hair press is my favorite...er..uh..her favorite.
