Lent

What to give up for 40 days. That is always so hard for me. Last year I gave up soft drinks. I used to be so addicted to coke.

I had a really hard time all week thinking about what to give up. Nagging Jonathan? No way I can go 40 days without nagging him about something... he's not the neatest person. Coffee? Heck no. Fast food? Hmmm... that was at the top of my list (Biscuitville is my weakness). But then it happened....

Hudson was playing cars this morning and dropped one and he yelled, "damn it." My heart sunk. I knew he heard me say that when I broke a glass cup the other day. I felt awful. I had no idea what to do. Do I ignore it? I told him that was not a nice word and mommy did not mean to say it. About 45 minutes later he said it again. So I told him that when we drop things we say, "oh no" or "oh rats". I am keeping my fingers crossed he does not ever say that again. So there you go, I am giving up swearing for Lent.

*In reality I am not a big swearer but I do say it under my breath a lot and it took my 2 year old to make me overly aware of the situation.
