Too funny. Came by via Owlhaven.
What was Joel “finkin”?
I’ve been a mom for 10 years, and I still don’t know how we do it. Oh to be a little kid again and have just one thought hapening…..
Ha! Ha! This is exactly why I can be thinking and from far away, I hear a tiny noise, then it grows louder, and louder, and it’s beginning to sound familiar, and now it’s louder still, and finally it hits me, “Mom! Mom!”
LOL, are you sure that isn’t what was on his mind?
That is so funny! Amen!

My husband is always nervous when he asks me what I’m ‘finking’…because he knows that I’ll tell him. I’ll take him through every thought that I’ve had in my mind over the last few minutes and it leaves him with him jaw dropped and shaking his head. 🙂

This is exactly what I’ve felt like this week with an extra child in the house. Maybe it’s just being a woman though – I think I’m always like this! thanks!
Hoo Boy. I understand what you’re “finkin”. This was too cute!
