My oldest child just walked into the den, where I was deeply engrossed in Wheel of Fortune and asked me, "Uh, Mom? Didn't you ground me yesterday for something?"
Me: Um. Yeah. I, um, I kinda forgot about that.
Him: Really?
Me: Yeah. Not my best parenting moment, huh?
Him: I don't mind it so much.
Me: Well, it kind of robs me of some of my parenting power, don't you think?
Him: It's okay. I'll pretend I'm terrified of you again tomorrow.
Me: Thanks, kid. You're all heart.
Him: What can I say? I'm a giver.

About Me
- Teble
- I'm a wife to one, mom to two (well, three if you count the dog), a fourth grade teacher, and a novelist.
The Princess and the Trolls
It's lonely being the only Princess in a castle full of boys, but I get by with a little patience, a dash of humor, and a whole lot of Lysol. Welcome to my little corner of cyberspace, where I ramble on about my family, my dog, teaching, writing, and things that annoy me or make me laugh. Usually the latter.
