Grace in small things, January 18, 2017
- Luke and his legos...always building something for Mama and Daddy these days... (Sis too...)
- We've been reading a great kids book called "Penguin Problems," about a little penguin that has a million things to complain about. (Great book.) And this week (and last too) has been terrible for me with conference calls everywhere and lots and lots of other busyness, making me super frazzled. Luke and I were discussing how I don't want to be doing conference calls like this in particular and don't want to be busy like this in general and what to do to fix the situation. "Mommy," he said. "You've got Person Problems!"
- Luke: "Do aliens exist?" Me: "No one knows." Luke: "Well, why don't I just go to the rocket store, build a rocket, go to space and find out!" Me: "You probably need a degree in aerospace engineering to do that, Buddy." And later, Luke to his Daddy: "I'm going to be a space aero engineer!" (Daddy would love it if his kids turned out to be engineers. And Zo's been saying lately that she wants her daddy's job when she grows up...)
- Dentist this evening for the kids...they love going to the dentist, which is great, they are great with kids there...
- Hugs and love and forgiveness from the kids for a grumpy, yell-y Mommy tonight. I've just got too much going on and it comes out as less patience for the kids...must fix this...
XOXO
