I wanted a title that captured the essence of what it is like to be Kaden, Jonathan and Evan's mom. Have you ever heard something that just made you stop and say "HUH"
The new blog title comes from a moment like that courtsey of my middle son Jonathan. He was talking about his friend Tj being rich. In his opinion, Tj was rich because he lived in a mansion. (Tj's house is nice, but no mansion) We live in a trailor in the outskirts of Huntsville Alabama.
A trailor park we can call "The Yard"
Our house may not be much but it's comfortable we have enough room and a decent size yard. I asked Jonathan what was wrong with our house. I'll admit I was more trying to get him to see what he has by not being able to find anything "wrong" with it. Jonathan looked at me his face all serious "Well Mom," he said "Its oddly shaped and oddly colored"
I had one of those "HUH" moments. I have many of those moments trying to teach my boys about what is important in life and hearing their very unique responses.
So from my oddly shaped and oddly colored trailor in The Yard, I'm Radonna mom to Kaden, Jonathan and Evan. Zoo keeper to a pack of animal (nine cats and four dogs) and Partner to Denise.
