Here's to maintaining some self-respect and sanity while tending to the growth and maturation of young minds, including your own young mind. Here's to recognizing that it isn't necessary to know how everything is going to turn out in advance, and that often Life has much better in store than one can imagine. Here's to hope and happiness even when Life gets complicated, especially then... That's when it's needed it most.

...afterall, the car may only seat seven but room for friends is unlimited...

I thought you might enjoy these things that Q said today.

Me: "Quinn what do you want to be when you grow up?"

Q: "An Elephant."

Me: "Well what if you couldn't be an Elephant, then what would you
want to be?"

Q: "A Horse."



Then speaking to E a little bit later. . .she had just said,
"Sweetie. . ."

To which Q replied, "No, We're Dads. We're Darth Vaders."

We had my sister's children here so he was referring to himself and his cousin. My husband's reaction to the Dad/Darth Vader issue? He was overjoyed! He's a Star Wars aficionado, obviously. He was so pleased that his son immediately equated fatherhood with immense, if a little on the dark side, power. Funny thing is that just the other day we were commenting to each other how little power you actually have as parents. It is mostly a "perceived power" which in reality doesn't always carry much weight and is extremely unwieldy.
