Young Mom
Ok. So, I went outside to wave goodbye to Tessa as she bicycled off to school. Nathan followed me. As I am holding Rilla, smiling and shouting I love you to Tessa, Nathan takes off running, following Tessa around the corner. He is barefoot and bottomless. I am trying to run after him while holding Rilla. He decided to pause to admire a bug crossing the sidewalk. (Yes, he likes to watch them and still is freaked that they are always crawling on him??) As I approach, a neighbor shouts out, "Hi Jodi, I thought you were a 'Young Mom!' I didn't recognize you at first." I am not sure if she meant that at first I seemed younger...and that up close I am definately older....or that she forgot I have two little ones still at home....It doesn't matter. I am an older mom with young children still in tow. :)

This is too funny. Well I guess you've got to be old enough to have a child as old as Elizabeth (13?), but I still think you're young!! Running down the street carrying one child while chasing another definitely demonstrates your youthful qualities!
This made me laugh... I can envision the craziness. You must still be going to the track, right?
I saw your comment on Lynne's blog. I didn't have any takers on my pay it forward either. I got embarrassed and deleted the post. BTW, you look young.
She definitely mean "young" in the way of someone just starting out. Anyone who knows you knows you epitomize YOUTH!
You are all too kind! Thank you! I am still going to the track...I learned an interesting thing...if you are low on iron , you can't lose weight...so I'm up on my vitamins :)
