Girls Cheat

This ones going to need a little background.  I was in a long term relationship (and living together) from the time Chase was in preschool till he was in 2nd grade.  As far back as he could remember that was our life.  We broke up and Chase and I moved when he started 2nd grade.  During that first year I probably went on dates with 4 to 5 different guy's, only 3 did I date more than one date but none were serious.  Shortly after Jeff and I decided to be serious and exclusive Chase and I moved in with him on a temporary basis.  One evening Jeff had Chase in the car and they were on their way to pick me up from work.  ....  (End of background)
Chase: "I'm never getting married."
Jeff: "Why?"
Chase: "Because girls cheat, like my mom."
Jeff: "Really?"
Chase: "Yea, before you were around she went out with a whole bunch of guys".
lol
Good thing Jeff had a sense of humor.  It's funny how little kids see things.

Bad To The Bone

While living with Jeff, Chase was in 3rd grade and got in a bit of trouble at school.  He wouldn't tell me what he did to get in trouble so I had to wait till the next school day to talk to his teacher.  On the way to pick me up later that evening Jeff asked Chase why he wouldn't tell me.  Chase replies "I don't want my mom to know that I'm bad, and I can be Bad to the Bone".

Toilet Paper

Sitting in the living room watching TV I notice Chase come flying out of the bathroom and into the kitchen, grab some paper towels and fly back into the bathroom.  weird.  When he came out we asked him what that was all about.  Chase's response "Sometimes toilet paper just isn't enough".

Sleeping Poweder

We were headed to Flaming Gorge for some fishing.  While driving down the freeway after a couple of hours Chase, in complete frustration of getting fatigued, says "Who put sleeping powered back here?"

Cavemen in the bathtube.

I just finished trying to wax my legs for the first time ever.  It was so messy, sticky, goo-we all over.  To contain the mess I did this in the bathtub.  Before I had a chance to clean it Chase, at 9 years old, came into the bathroom then comes shouting "Did someone bathe a caveman in here or something?"

Nothing like being a Mom

It's hard to believe my baby boy will be turning 17 in a little more than a month.  We just registered him for the last year of High School.  Where has the time went?  It flew by for sure.  I remember letting almost anyone hold him as an infant, thinking I would have all the time in the world raising him and now I'm left wishing I held him even more while he was little.  We've had many challenges through the years and many laughs.
