About Me

My photo
I am a mom, a wife, and a teacher-librarian. I have four boys at home: Main Man (44), #1 (14), #2 (11), and #3 (7). Although they keep me very busy, I also look after a library for an elementary student population of 500 (give or take). I love my family; I love my job.

Proud Mama

I have to quickly jot down my thoughts about this morning before the day races by.

This morning, my #1 participated in a youth-led service at the church. I was so incredibly proud of him!

There were six kids between the ages of 11 and 14 who, under the patient guidance of our minister, led the entire service: the music, the prayers, the sermon, and they even managed to include some drama.

#1 presented part of the sermon, acted as Goliath in the drama, and played his saxophone and his guitar. I quietly sat back and tried not to get too emotional in light of his accomplishments.

The piece de resistance was once we got home, though, and Main Man - my confirmed Buddhist husband who had attended the service in support of #1 - hugged me and thanked me for raising our kids as church-goers. Even he was overwhelmed with the fantastic vibe emanating from these great kids.

It does feel good to know that I have had a part, however small, in providing the opportunity for #1 to meet such wonderful friends.
