Mothering Little Darling

Most days I love being a mom to Little Darling. Not all days, but most days. Today has begun as one of the good days. I drug my sleepy butt out of bed at 6 am in order to don my Easter Bunny suit and deposit money and candy filled eggs around the yard and in the tree (they look cool there), though how a real bunny would get them there...maybe I should run out and put them on the ground?? Then I filled the basket with goodies I hope he loves. Love, this is all done out of love. Speaking of love, I love sitting down on a dry toilet seat, of a pee free toilet. Sounds simple and reasonable right? Unless you live with Little Darling. He often forgets to clean his dribbles or flush, (he's 9). I feel by now he should be able to remember to flush and wipe the seat...I guess he has other ideas. So the other day I got out two small mason jars and I asked Little Darling to help me fill one with 35 dimes. Why he asked, and I told him because I figure he pees about 35 times a week...I put all 35 dimes in the jar with his name on it. Then told him that every time I find a dirty toilet from him, I get a dime. No pee in/on the toilet and he keeps the dimes. I started this Wednesday and have so far only collected two dimes. Ahh the joys of mothering.
