My son

Did an amazing job this weekend at his wrestling meet. He has learned lots and is applying what he learned this year. Mom is learning some too and understand how individual this sport is.

He won two hard faught matches by points and lost his third one in the third period missing out on first place. He was frustrated with himself. We were very proud of him!!




It helped ease the pain of having a blown waterpump on the truck that left us stuck on the side of the road a little bit better.

Thanks to wrestling friends for all their help!

Whats with the double underlined green words??!?!?!

Have you noticed that today?

Illish remains here. I got over the intestinal drama and lived for days to get slamed by a head cold today. So goes life.

Anyway, as I'm low on energy I did some internet surfing this afternoon....and I've seen these double green lines popping up all over the place advertising stuff.

Anyone have any clue where they came from and how we get rid of the invasive things???

Illish

Whatever the little girls had early this week has now visited Momma. So goes the grand plans to whip this place in shape. As I am not in danger of the h e a l t h department closing us down so I've chosen instead to focus on doing laundry in the order of most importance. Meaning, socks and undies first!

Nothing wrong with coaching the little girls through a morning of W i i Fit and finally convincing them to just watch some TV.

We'll all survive

Kites

Kites
"I see children as kites.

You spend a lifetime trying to get them off the ground.
You run with them until you're both breathless...they crash...they hit the rooftop...you patch and comfort, adjust and teach.
You watch them lifted by the wind and assure them that someday they'll fly. Finally they are airborne, they need more string and you keep letting it out.
But with each twist of the ball of twine, there is a sadness that goes with the joy. The kite becomes more distant, and you know it won't be long before that beautiful creature will snap the lifeline that binds you together and will soar as it is meant to soar, free and alone.
Only then do you know that your job is done."

Erma Bombeck


I love this. I read it first long before I had kids and thought it neat. Now that I'm living it I am reminded of its truth so often. Such a bittersweetness this parenting thing!

Feeling Better

8 hours of sleep + 2 year old pooing in the toilet makes the whole world just seem brighter some how.
