Counting Blessings

November 11, 2012

Friday was “Parents come eat lunch with your kids at school Day.” I woke up that day feeling barely up to being alive, let alone packing lunch for me and the 3 littles and hauling ourselves over to the school.  The thought was daunting.  I mean, it’s like 3 miles […]

Five children later, I have discovered the answer to every smoothie-down-the-shirt problem, every grass-ground-int0-the-knees issue, and every marker-all-over incident. The fire hose.
