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...

She takes the fall. . .

down about 7 concrete steps, landing squarely on her hands. 36 hours later, the wrists are starting to regain their strength and she feels much more confident. This amazing recovery can be credited to Grandma, who came to take her small children for the day, and good friends and sisters that brought dinner, picked up her older children from school, and did little household tasks that she couldn't get her body to do. Yesterday was a veritable sick day! Rest was needed and rest she had. What a wonderful and amazing thing!

Ouch! Crazy the mishaps that befall mothers. I tripped and fell at church last week, complete with 3 bags and a 2 yr old (not hurt). I have the bruised knees and rib to prove it. I'm so glad you got the help you need and are feeling better.
