God laid it on my heart to show mercy as He shows me mercy so the kids got a reprieve and got to go swimming at school and by swimming I mean play in the water.
They were excited to hear that news since they hadn't so far been able to do that yet at school. So I took it another step forward and told them if they got dressed without me having to remind them to do stuff and in the allotted time they could have a treat. They did it and so I played Jory's seemingly new favorite song, Drift Away. He sang along to Give me the beat boy. I played the Uncle Kracker version. What happened to Uncle Kracker?
After that song played to a rousing crowd, I checked out what was going on on Perez and got a treat of my own. There was a clip of the New Kids on the Block/Backstreet Boys tour in Boston. Now normally I wouldn't have given that a second look, but then they brought out BBD. SCORE! The men dressed alike per usual, more groups need to bring that back, sang parts of Do Me and Poison. The guys who taught me to never trust a big butt and a smile.
I was bouncing around, singing along.
"Mommy, why are you so happy?" Jory asked. "Is it because we got ready on time?"
"Mommy, are you happy because that's your favorite song?" Rowan asked.
"Yes, Mommy is happy that you got ready on time and yes, Mommy really likes this song."
When you hear those opening notes and "Poison/PPPPpoison" you can't help but smile and move.
And to end the note on a great note, we were able to sing correctly all four verses of Amazing Grace in the car before we parked at school.
Some mornings just ROCK!
