My visiting brother from Utah and I were left without spouses for 4 days. This wouldn't have been such a big deal, but our kids had already been together 24/7 for 6 days and our boys couldn't think of anything better to do than fight. I don't know about you, but 1 entire day of fighting is enough to drive one mad--now times that by 4. Near the end of the week(and our rope) my brother and I had a heart to heart and posed the question~what in life could be more mentally difficult than this? The only thing I could think of (now remember, we'd just run the Ragnar) was running a marathon. Someone once told me that if you could mentally get through a marathon, you could get through anything. So, I put it to the test...I ran a... OK , not a marathon, but a 1/2. Raising children and running difficult races are so much the same. They both require so much of you emotionally, physically and mentally and yet the end reward is so gratifying. I can't express the joy I felt yester
Found my kids playing in the mud today - what else is there to do in the rain?
I guess they weren't just playing - Liza was trying to catch a frog. As you can she, she succeeded :( - killed the poor thing and dumped it in the sink while I was doing dishes! Now we are headed to the tub :(-) didn't have it in me to pick it up and washed it down the drain - do I dare start the disposal?
