Today I Am A Cool Mom
It was HOT today...really, really hot. Coach had a game out of town so DQ and I were forced to take flapjack to his baseball game and stay for the entire thing. Now before you accuse me of being a slacker mom (okay, which I am) DQ does not do so well at the ballpark. If I take my eye off of her for a second...she is gone. She doesn't really mean to wander off...she just forgets she's walking...or something like that. Anyway, we went to the game, in the sweltering heat. Good mom that I am I chose to arrive early so I could park in front...and therefore sit in the car with the windows open and watch the game. (Okay, okay, I might have been reading a novel and eating M&M's )but I did pay attention when flapjack came up to bat...and when the coach put him in as pitcher...PITCHER??? Uh, no, flapjack is a catcher...but tonight he also got to pitch. He didn't hit any kids so I consider it a successful night. (I'm getting to the cool mom part...) After the game I took the kids home and let them have the first swim of the season!! (Okay, technically the second...cause they got in the pool while their dad was vacuuming...it's my blog...let me tell this story my way!) (I had nothing to do with getting the pool clean, chlorinated, or getting the ladder put back in...but hey I am the one who let them swim!) I even let them splash me without complaint. Then I took them to Mickey D's (so DQ could order her french fry burger...yeah, ewwww!) and Bueno (so flapjack could have a burrito) and we sang to Kid's Bop LOUD the entire way home. While getting out of the car I overheard flapjack tell DQ..."Mom is cool tonight. She isn't grouchy at all!" Memories...I'll be writing that one down. It is rare that I am the cool one. That title is usually reserved for dad.

Who Am I?
Me
Gender: Female

About Me
I'm a wife, a mom, an educator and a normal (okay, relative term here) person who makes frequent mistakes. I have a lot to say, hence the blog. My kids were adopted as babies (one through an agency and one through the foster care system). I love to talk about adoption. My daughter has sensory issues as well as ADHD. I like to vent about parenting. I am occasionally rosy, usually blunt and sometimes I am simply downright rude. Don't read if it offends you. I may sometimes write about my school experiences so let me cover my bases. I don't live in your town, I don't work at your school, I am not talking about your child, you don't know me. If you think you've figured out who I am...ask me, I will lie and say you don't know me. email me at chocolatecoffeesleep@hotmail.com

We could so hang together!
I would pull up in my car like that too! I do not like to socialize with new people who I will probably not see again... then they will want me to bring snacks, have the kids over for a party, blah blah...
I have a sarcastic sense of humor that folks new to me do not get. My friends tell me that I am an acquired taste. (I think this is how I say it?) I just kinda scare new folks. Best to stay away.
Oh yeah, we COULD hang together! The whole kid play date...not for me. Cause then the moms feel the need to stay around and visit and I don't chit chat well!
