Wordless Wednesday

Expecto Patronum

You haven’t lived until, in the middle of World War Three, your 6-year-old comes stomping from his room, the one to which he had been unceremoniously sent, clutching his homemade magic wand, and socks you with a Patronus Charm with all the seriousness he can muster. Because you’re his Dementor. You’ve sucked up all his joy.

If I had had my wits about me, I would have countered with Petrificus Totalus, just to see the look on his face when he realized that two can play at that game. Must remember that for next time. Because I’m sure there will be a next time.

Is a meme better than nothing at all?

Here, a meme that I've been meaning to work on for ages...

I AM content.
I WANT pie. Right now.
I WISH for my children to have happiness always.
I MISS my life before children, but only occasionally.
I HEAR some of you thinking I’m a horrible mother because of what I miss.
I WONDER what the future brings.
I REGRET not asking my favourite cousins to be in my wedding party.
I AM NOT perfect, and that’s o.k.
I DANCE less than I used to. Drag.
I AM NOT ALWAYS working as hard as I could.
I MAKE WITH MY HANDS just about everything.
I WRITE quite a lot, actually.
I CONFUSE easily.
I NEED another vacation with The Husband.
I SHOULD start my Christmas shopping soon so I can enjoy my time with family over the holidays.
I START my day early, and I’ve grown to like it that way.
I FINISH only some of the things I start.
