The gentleman (Neil Parsrisha you can check his story out here on Ted Talks) that began the blog gone book did so because(condensed version) after some difficult times in his life he was having a hard time seeing the wonderful in the world and so to combat his blues he started a list of all things awesome on his blog.
I bring this up because I often find myself muttering in my head as I go about my daily mothering tasks about difficulties I am encountering and the behaviors I am trying to navigate (this parenting gig ain't easy!!) So after listening to this talk I have decided to add a little something to my mother ramblings and children's loveliness (or lack there of) it will be labeled the Awesome little things because there are so many little things (among big things and odd things) as a mother I get to enjoy everyday because I am a Mother and so often they get missed and forgotten. I would like to celebrate those little things.
To begin here is my first Awesome little things...
Today I got to enjoy something I haven't had since I was about 8 because at some point you change, you grow and well can you imagine pulling a bag of Big League Chew bubble gum from your brief case during a meeting or trying to hold a civil adult conversation with a stranger with a wad of gum in your mouth the size of Texas....um I can't, but today the boys experienced it for the first time and I got to partake in the jaw stretching chews and bubble blowing extravaganza! Yay for Big Chew!!
((Now of course Big League Chew is not restricted to parents and/or children so run right out and remember the fun of chewing a half pound of pink sugar strands! Just try not to gag and nearly throw up on my sisters couch as G nearly did...ug!))
