Today I open the page of a book called: Elphaba's Wicked Thoughts! Why you may ask.... well, contrary to what people may think upon first glance.... this blog will be most UN-wicked. I hope if you have stumbled across this blog in hopes of finding some very ADULT content - you will either be pleasantly surprised - or severely disappointed. I will be ranting about many adult topics - such as parenting, being a woman, husbands, children (specifically SONS), and anything else I feel the need to expand on. I might even venture into politics now and then ... but I will only be open to friendly debates- we are all entitled to our own political beliefs even if we don't agree.
I am completely, and over the top, OBSESSED with the broadway show - WICKED! If you've seen it and you are as in love with it as I am- you are in good company. My children and husband are SICK and TIRED of the constant hum of the broadway cast CD playing in my car on every trip to the grocery store we take. I can't help it... it is THAT Good. On that note, I have proudly named this blog to reflect my obsession. I have thought about 'blogging' for a long time now. The biggest thing that has stopped me was coming up with a witty name. I have recently become an avid reader of mom blogs and particularly have loved reading one. As I read the stories as she relates them, I can envision them in my head as if I was there. I'm not promisng to be that good, but I do promise to try.
Since this is a first post - let me tell you about my self. I am happily married to my childhood sweetheart (we met when I was 8 and he was 11) for 15 years now. As I said, we met when I was 8 and I fell head over heels in "Crush" with him. He was my best friends brother.... Cut to 6 years later, I am a freshman in high school and he's a senior .... and lets just say LOVE bloomed (so to speak) We've been together ~~EVER SINCE. We married in 1992 and had our first son in 1994. Parker brought joy into our lives like we never imagined. I WAS BORN TO LOVE, SNUGGLE, AND CUDDLE BABIES! So was my husband. We are both suckers for a baby.... its sometimes hard to imagine we won't be having anymore. (But I digress)... 4 years later our second son Chase joined our family and although we weren't too sure about him at first (LOTS OF CRYING and NO SLEEPING) he has proven to be just as wonderful as we could have imagined.
Cut to today - our boys are now 13 1/2 and 10.... and the chaos ensues. When I was a young girl, my sister and I DID NOT get along AT ALL! I have come to realize what the true meaning of "what comes around goes around", because BOY is it around. I play referee from morning until night - so if anyone with sons would like to comment - please help me.... when is enough enough.... how far will they go....and if I let it go, how do I know that someone won't end up with a broken bone or worse?
Anway, thats my question for today .... comments are always appreciated.

how far to let it go... at my house (2 boys, 2 years apart) the constant refrain is "don't touch your brother!" however, they touch. they fight. i tell them to ask for intervention prior to breaking any skin or bones, and that they are to treat each other as they would hope to be treated. when that becomes impossible, i separate them. i try not to police them too much, i mean, they need to have their "when i was a kid" stories to tell someday, right?
