A Little Loveasaurus

Oh, boy.....day 3 of school yesterday ended in drama, tears, and emotional turmoil. Yep, 3 days in and my boys were spent! They are normally, rough and tough and ALL-BOY, but when 3 long days away from home get a hold of you I guess they break down. So did mama! Both boys got off the bus in tears. School went great, they said, it was the assigned seats on the bus that gave my 3rd. grader his first taste of heart ache and disappointment-you know Real Life! Long story short, he was supposed to sit with his buddy, then the buddy's brother called him to the back of the bus, so my guy was left standing there and forced to sit in the front seat with 2 kindergarten GIRLS!!!! To an 8yr. old, this is devastating. He was so strong, until he saw me and then the tears came a flowin'! THEN my 1st. grader, runs home, locks himself in his room and says he doesn't want to talk. YIKES!!! What is going on???? Turns out, he is upset because his big brother is upset. And he was soooo tired, so that makes the tears flow pretty easy when you're 6. I ended up crying and left to think about how to handle my first of many, I'm sure, heart breaking situations. He's my oldest, so this is all new to me. Okay, sooooo you didn't come here to read about my family issues, but thanks for listening. This blog is a little bit of my therapy, dontcha know!


Here's a couple of quick and easy boy cards I made last month. I used more of that great Making Memories dp and I can't say enough of this sweet Little Loveasaurus. I had different plans for today's post, but yesterday changed all that. Here's a closeup of this cutie. Have a great weekend. I know we are all looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow. Happy weekend!

  1. Ahhh man girl, I am right there with ya! What little traumas our little ones have, right?!? Mine are 6 and 5, so my house is wracked with the same kinds of things. Crazy to think the worst thing of the day is sitting by 2 girls on the bus! LOL! One day that will be the BEST PART of his day, right?!? Hugs to you girlie.

  7. OH NO! I hate it when the days ends like that! Poor little guys and poor mama! My kids have never liked the bus and this year I finally relented and agreed to pick them up after only a few days. I'm cracking up at Michelle's comment above that some day riding with girls will be the best part of his day! Too true!

    Hugs all around- hope today went much better. And adorable card, BTW!
