In the midst of divorce, now, more than ever, my children look to me. "They look to me to see how merciful and generous I am in good times. They look to me to see how strong and faithful I am in bad times. They watch, they listen, and they model. Years from now I want my children to remember a childhood lived well, with a mother who was loving, consistent, devoted, funny, disciplined, playful, and totally present and emotionally available."(Kristin Armstrong)

Tripping Out
Straight Line: The shortest distance between two points. I dare you to effectively maneuver through our minuscule house. Do this, moving a maximum of 3 objects out of your way, while carrying an armful of something. Traverse in one steady direction without tripping or dropping part of your load. I dare you. King Simon will be circling nervously at your feet, pathetic and hoping for a walk or some love. Little people will be following evvvvver-sooooo-sloooooowleeeee from in front(of you, yes following from in front) and the labyrinth of toys might present a facade of access to your path. Good luck.

ReplyDeleteha! you love that dog too, don't you?
