Life Rolls On and ON...etc


Vaguely, I remember those days. Seems we didn't have to have as much stuff ready as kids do now. Kleenex and paper towels, handsoap, stuff like that was furnished. We had to worry about sudden bursts of emotion and sometimes the kids would cry, too ! :)
It was just the other day that I was dropping them off at school...... what am I saying?? I mean, it was just the other day I was pushing them out the door to catch the bus !!!!! Whoaaa to them if they missed that bus. I'll never forget the day Chris came back in crying that he missed the bus... 3rd grade... I had to get dressed and drive him to school. I was so aggravated. While I was out I went to the grocery store and a few other errands. The school called not long after I got home and asked me to please pick up my son, there was no school that day !!!!!!!!!!!!! OOOPPPPSSSSSS.
Kathy has all these joys ahead of her and I apologize that we all find it humorous but its only because we've been there. After reading her blog yesterday I started thinking how strange it feels to have fully grown up functioning adults as children. Kathy had some good points about thankfulness and I need to be reminded often. Today I'm being thankful that I'm NOT in my
wonderful, driveable, gold van with no A/C. Later today when I have to drive it, I'll be thankful it RUNS. Tomorrow, I'll be thankful I have a daughter close enough to come drive me to her house (since I don't want to bring the wonderful, driveable, gold van with no A/C ) to evacuate from the latest hurricane.

Well that's a good start on thankfulness. :-) I'm listening to my son scream his head off in his crib, but I suppose I am trly thankful that he has such fantastic functioning lungs. I'm sorry to hear about the hurricane. Brenda might not be coming bc of it.

It might be time to consider going to one nap a day :) :) :) Maybe he's not needing or wanting that quality time with his bed. He wants to be near his MOMMA snicker snicker
