why soap operas work for us with life lessons:

This is actually really really funny to me.

(and it was to them too...as soon as I turned off the camera I didn't say a word, I just sat down on the floor and hit play so they could see themselves...giggles galore, I tell ya! GI.GG.LES! Which I though was great, so we had a chat about how silly arguing with your sisters is!)

But really, it's funny to me because I can be a tinsy winsy little bit dramatic when I'm telling a good story, or when I'm scared, or when I'm stressed, when I'm excited......ok, I'm just dramatic in general. so!?

(I'm always the person you call with good news, I will scream happy screams for you with no hesitation!)

And when I really get going 'death' is always a part somehow.

I can't get a hold of Jake for a few hours and I should be able to, in my mind, he's dead on the side of the road somewhere.

I don't know how many times in my life I've said, "oh my gosh, I'm gonna die" - when I'm excited, when I'm blown away, whenever!?

My kids are sick and it's a 'new' one, like when Sophie had bronchitis for the first time, I thought she was going to die.

I was 'that' mom, that checked on her kids ALL. THE. TIME. because I thought they were gonna die.

I've had a hard week, "I'm just gonna die".

Funny. I don't have ANY fear of death...it's just where I automatically go!

Apparently, some else has been listening.

oops.

negative one point for this mommy!
