notes to self for when i'm a mom

i love my mom. i have been sick at part of my family reunion and instead of hanging ount with her sibleing s she has been helping me. but anyway i just want to make lit of stuff to remember when i am a mom.
1. always play monopoly with your kid
2. only let your kids watch tv on weekends and when they are sick
3. be weird but NOT in front of their friends
4.  always be willing to get your hair wet
5. don't  be a scaredy cat
6. go on fliping crazy tube rides
7. dont care if you break your rib. just think of it as having your kids take care of you for  a few monthes
8. play connect four with your kids too it  makes them smart
any way i will  add to that later
(but seriously only half of those things my mom  is bad at)

easter

We have had a crazy Easter season. Like seriously crazy. and that is saying alot causerie the shumway household is like almost always crazy. I thought i had a busy life, going to home school, art classes play dates,lessons,choir and volunteering! but that is the same with my little siblings too all of which aren't sixteen and do not know how to drive. Therefore, my mom has to take them every where!!!! and that alone is really hard to do!

And on top of all of that my dear mother did a whole waster season full of Jesus and how he was resurrected. It was really well planned and we could tell she had thought a lot about it. but since she planned out so well, of course it ended up pretty chaotic!!! But when i look back on it all is well and it seemed much more fun than the actual happening.

(note to self: when I become a mother, i have to push through with things my kids don't like because they will like it in the end and I know that this note doesn't make sense but I will remind you, this is a note to self)

Mommy School Part Two

Oh my goodness guys, I am TOTALLY bewildered! mommy school was way better than I thought it was awesome!!! We sort of fell apart at the end and got so lost doing art that we couldn't do our
read-a-thon and math lesson. In the middle of our art lesson my mom took my online school art book that the state had sent me and we got really bugged at each other. The only other thing that bothered me was that mom hadn't put math on the schedule. My mom doesn't like math. Neither does Charlie because his teacher teaches him fifth grade math and he can't catch up. But I love math I can not stop doing it so I hope we can do math today.

mommy school

OK, picture this, you are taking a stroll along a beach in dream land,the fake breeze of hot (?) air brushes against you whole body. Then from out of nowhere,a voice (which sounds like my moms) says "HAZEL WAKE UP IT IS TIME FOR MOMMY SCHOOL" OK well maybe that is how it sounded to me (very tired from watching the patriots win the super bowl last night) She said she had it all planned out and that this was going to be fun. yippee! ( notice sarcasm) from recent experience that doesn't all ways work out ( read my first post "intro" to see what I mean)
          After trying to convince my mom to not do this and reminding her that I still had to do my school (Massachusetts virtual academy at greenfield) and that it is not going to work, I gave in I am not sure what will happen next but this "mommy school" is meant to be for all of us (the shum kids) so after doing show and tell and singing the days of the week in "morning meeting" (a activity for kindergartners to first grade DEFINITELY not my level) I pretty much think that this is not going to go well
just look at the scheduled it looks pretty planned out:

Wait, re-wind: My Mom is Awesome

 My mom is awesome. I mean, I don't want you to thing I am like a really sassy girl who isn't thinking about any thing but anger. My mom is really cool in fact, she just won me on the foozball  table. The purpose of this blog is to remind myself when I,m a mom I can remember things from a kid's perspective. so without further do I am going to list five things I like about my mom:
1. She is really willing to serve the lord when ever she fells like it is the right thing to do
2. She has a deep testimony and is not afraid to share that with her peers
3. She knows us individually and know who we are
4. She ALWAYS apologizes whenever she does wrong ( or maybe whenever we go off crying and she doesn't even know what she has to do with it
5. My mom loves my dad and is a great roll model. Showing a great example of a perfect relationship with my dad

But since I have to stop myself from going on and on and on, I am  going to sign off

Intro

Hi!  Welcome to faults of my Mom. OK, so one day, in December a couple days after we had chopped down a Christmas tree, my mom decided it was about time to put the ornaments on the tree. We were all very exited but as we reached for the ornaments to put on the tree, Mom caught us and said, "wait, we have to put the ornaments on one at a time! so we can enjoy each one at a time!"  I tried to protest but of course she didn't listen and so -Clearly VERY frustrated- I ran up to my room with a few pieces of paper, a stapler and a green sharpie marker found on my mom's desk.  I stapled the pieces and came out with this:

This is what it said:

"1 Christmas season Chapter one:

Decorating Christmas tree:

The thing that makes me most mad is when my mom TRIES to make a happy peaceful setting in our house.  for example: we were decorating our Christmas tree and mom takes out one at a time, talking about each one as if it were really the most pretty, beautiful or interesting thing in the world. 

example:

MOM: This ornament I bought at Market Basket because I felt like it 

or:

MOM: This is another nylon reindeer we had on our tree when I was little. (weird!!)

PEACEFUL

     settings

in a HOME just 

    COME.

you can't make 

      them

That is the thing I try to explain to my mom. I mean, thinking back, "organized moments" mom tried to make never worked.  Kids didn't want to take pictures, we argued stuff like that. The only way to make Moments memorable is to not make your self happy. Also CRUSH the plans that you might have make and trust them,  play along with you kids it will make the moments last any way.

Sighing off 

(I mean that)

That is was my first post I posted in my book and I hope to type
all of these things and post them here.
