Sobering Thoughts

Just now Caleb said to me: "Do you know how to be a good Christian? Copy-cat your parents." Wow, that makes me sit up and take notice. "Lord, please help me to be a Godly example, and not really mess up this monumental task You've given to me!"

---------------------------------------------------

And the other day, I was giving the boys a pep talk about not fighting, etc., and also making my "to-do" list for the day. I was exhorting them that if they wouldn't fight and we would all work together, we could get so much work done, and wouldn't that be fun!! And Logan's reply was something like, "Or we could just relax!" When will I learn to relax and not be so driven to accomplish. I think I need to have a "waste-a-day" challenge. Not sure how to do that, but why don't you ask me tomorrow or the next day if I was able to "waste" a good portion of a day!!

leave it to kids to get our attention, eh?

i have an idea...we should live together for a few months...i could teach you how not to care about getting so much done, and you could teach me how to care about getting things done. :)

Okay, sounds good to me! Did you mean with our kids too? Or would they be somewhere else with our husbands? :-)

Come visit us! We're experts in this department. I'd even let you cuddle with Harley while you sat around and ate bon bons.

Okay, I'll bring the bon bons - and my kids - and you can cuddle with them while I cuddle with Harley. :-)

Who's Harley? Are you sure thats "legal", cuddling with someone you don't even know?

Jenni said...

Oh, believe me, I know him, and if he had it his way, I'd know him in the Biblical sense of the word, if you get my drift. He's a bulldog with no manners. :-) No offense, Karla!
