I am the mom who...

Do you ever think that you are the mom that things happen more often to??

Things that are just more embarrassing  or weird?
 
I am the mom who is waiting at the school for Levi to come across traffic to get to the vehicle and the nice principal escorts Levi to the car and opens my truck door and I am nodding politely saying thank you while like 5oo things are falling out of the back seat. There is a range of things in the back such as the stolen bible from the church that Jeremy accidentally took from the pew, smelly banana peels, and a multitude of other creative things.

I am the mom who is at a Mcdonalds stop on her way home from camping. Not unusual really. Daddy has Levi inside, and I have Silas in my arms getting him a snack from the back of the truck. I open the back flap door up and right before my eyes, like 13 bottles of Smirnoff Ice are smashing to the ground with spectators watching like it is an Olympic sport.
Hmmm, I cleaned it all up, piece by piece.... yum; it sure smelled good though.
That should actually be a good sign right? I came back with a lot. It is the ones who don't have smashing bottles that actually drank TOO much cause they have no bottles to show...

I am the mom who goes to pick up Levi and one of the moms who was volunteering says " Levi is soooo funny;his stories are hilarious. I know everything about his life now." Hmmmm, yah; I don't know if I REALLY want to know what you know about Levi's life. What you don't know can't hurt you.

I am the mom who is known as the mom who runs down Evans. Did you know that two people in one day approached me and asked me if I am the 'one' who runs down Evans street? These were two random people.
Then, on another given day, I had two friends call me to tell me they saw me running down Evans. That day was cold, and I was wearing a full toque that covered my WHOLE face. I asked how they knew it was me and they said they can tell by my stride.
Well, there was nothing left to the imagination today when I ran down the street in my flutter shorts. Those things were flapping in the wind man. I bet I will get some phone calls today about me running down Evans. Hmmmm, well, it was warm and I was not wearing as much.
At least they knew it was me.
Cause:
I am the mom who runs.

For my marathon training I did 3 1 hour runs plus a long run on Sunday. One of the 1 hours run were speed work. The long run was slower then my marathon pace. I also did a lot of running with my double stroller. I think that was helped the most. I did three 20+ miles runs (2 with the stroller).

I am laughing SO HARD at all the alcohol smashing to the ground while you have Silas in your arms with people watching. They all must have thought you were one of "those" moms. Ha ha ha...

I don't recall ever seeing you in those flappy shorts. It sounds like I would remember if I had. Heh heh...

Priceless! Escpecially Levi's funny stories. Thanks by the way of the visual of flapping shorts!

Yes, you are the mom and guess what I saw someone running up at Big White...I'm sure that was you trying to run over the drifts rather than skiing and gliding over them..
You will be the mom for a long time.
NOw I better check more often what you are storing in your van...
I'm wondering what will appear next on Evans road?

You are DA MOM, Lora!
I guess the good thing about smelling the Smirnoff is that you don't have a sinus cold.
