Winter time…. Almost

You can always tell when the cold and flu season is upon us. Everyone in the house becomes ill.
Not much one can do, other than give soft words of, “It will be ok.” and “You will be fine after you get some rest.”
We hold them, we rock them, we sing them songs to comfort them.
We also cherish those moments because as they get older, they grow few and far between.
When all is said and done, when they are feeling better, they are right back into their same old routine what ever that may be.
Oh well, just roll with the punches i guess.

The Things Kids Do

There is nothing better than waking in the morning to find your family working together in a cohesive manner. If this is something that you have always been used too, then you are a blessed soul. For those of you who have woken on a weekend to the sounds of screaming children because one or more are being mean or annoying to their siblings, you know where I am coming from. I felt like I was in the wrong house upon waking this particular morning. I was laying in bed listening to the conversation of my husband and my three children talking politely and offering to set the table.(This is a first) I tiptoed to the kitchen to see my almost 7 year old pouring juice for his sisters. This seemed odd to me coming from a boy who wanted to install a laser alarm on his bedroom door to keep his sisters out. All in all It was a pleasant morning, as I was able to write this entry without any disturbances. Children are so unique in what they do from day to day, one is hardly ever bored.

Speaking in Tongue

Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.

Play mates

When do play mates stop being important to people? We require them as children, as teenagers and even early adulthood. I wonder about the importance of gender. Is it inappropriate to have to many opposite sex friends as an adult? We do not concern ourselves with that question when the person is a child or an adolescent. Why must it be an issue when we are adults?

The term play must change as we get older. The purity of one’s intentions change and alter and the media darkens our most purest of ideas.

On that note; I happened across a most intriguing article that alludes to information on it regarding why women act the way they do at certain ages.
