I promise.....

To my sweet monkeys:

I can't believe that you are getting so big!  Starting 4th grade and 7th grade....wow!  The time has flown by....next thing I know you will be heading off to college!  But for now - I still have you here and can hold you and love on you all I want!

We all know that I am not the "perfect" mom, but this year...

I promise to remember to send in lunch money when you need it...
I promise to remember to fill out and send in all forms in a timely manner...
I promise to help you study for your spelling test throughout the week instead of on Friday morning...
I promise to help you with your homework when you need it (except math - sorry!)...
I promise to listen to you talk about your classes and your teachers and your friends and your day...
I promise to encourage you to look for the positive in everyone and in every thing...
I promise to always be there for you - no matter what...
I promise to take a few minutes every night for a little snuggle...
I promise to remind you to read God's Word, and to let you see that I struggle with it too...
I promise to take you to church, even when you are tired or busy...
I promise to love you more than my luggage...unconditionally...without end...
