Anything But Gray

Now, I don't know if you have to be a parent to "get this" or a woman, or what….but I'm going to blab about it anyway.

When you fill out all these forms for your kids for school there is the "emergency contact" spot.
And as a mom when I fill this spot out, I genuinely think to who my kids would be most comfortable with if they needed to be called. Luckily we have always had Ceci around to use as the contact. And the 2nd person listed has always been my brother.

Today, Lindsay's parents emailed me and asked if they could list me as the emergency contact for Lindsay.
Wow….
holy freakin' wow….!!!

I am seriously flattered. God's honest truth. Totally and completely flattered.
And I call Zak right away.."oh my gosh, guess what?? It's so cool! I can't believe they asked us!!" and I'm babbling on and on. Zak deadpans.."Okay, this must be a mom thing because….I don't get it? What's the big deal?"
So I decide he is no fun whatsoever and I hang up. And since I got a completely lame response out of him, I go running upstairs to Ceci and JR's. I throw open the door, start running up the stairs, yelling "Guess what the FBI guy and his wife asked me!?!?" (I just love referring to him as the FBI guy…and it wasn't even him, it was Janice that asked..anyway, I really should use his name. lol.)  And I tell them. And they got it..totally got why I was so psyched. lol. So that made me feel better. 🙂

It's seriously is a cool thing.
It's like a pat on the back kind of thing.."yeah, you guys are good people"
It made me feel proud.
It just made me feel good.
And maybe I'm a dork for admitting it…
But you know what?
I may be a dork, but I'm a "Lindsay's-emergency-contact-dork"!
And damn proud of myself!
ha!!!
