Living vicariously though my kids

I've decided that I want to be where my kids are RIGHT NOW. Not like, sitting on the couch or playing with playdoh, but mentally and emotionally.

My 9 year old son Kyle has decided he is writing a book. He's REALLY into it. He's only got 2 pages typed, (single space), but there's like 12 chapters or something. It's actually really good. REALLY creative. But not very strong on conventions... You see, I told him to just write and don't worry about editing because we can do that later. He heard: "You don't have to use any punctuation or capitalization. At all." So it's the longest run on sentence known to man. I just think it's great that he has a creative outlet that doesn't involve Pokemon or pretending to blow people up.

Marie, on the other hand, has gotten into this really weird "I'm-going-to-be-a-total-brat-and-then-a-complete-angel-in-the-blink-of-an-eye" phase. I have to tell you it is EXHAUSTING! It's rather trying to have to adjust from one mood to the next that quickly. I think this is God paying me back for the whole bi-polar thing. "See Keri? Now you know how everyone around you felt." But MAN when she is good she is so fun! She has the craziest facial expressions (that I can't capture on film!) and she has so much energy. She can find humor in the most random things, too.

I wish I could live inside their heads for just a few minutes. Who knew how tired I would be at 27. I mean, really. I'm FATIGUED. It would be so amazing to experience the world as they see it instead of how I do. I wonder if there's a class for that...

And that's your random thought (choppily written) post for the day. Thank you very much.
