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
Liza has been begging for a year to go to Tucker's Mrs. Cloud and today her wish came true.
She knew right where to go and what to do. She even brought in 2 toilet paper rolls to give to the gerbils. After she told me 5 times to leave, I closed the door and drove away. I couldn't help but smile and shed a tear of gratitude for that wonderful Mrs. Cloud. She has been a HUGE part of all 4 of my children's lives. I am so excited to see what this year will bring for both Eliza and Tucker.
