Yeah, it's the kids that stress me out. Riiiight...

Yeah, it's the kids that stress me out. Riiiight...

Have you ever had one of those conversations that aren’t really about what you’re talking about? The true meaning is conveyed through innuendo and subconscious body language, etc. Sometimes we just blurt out a phrase that’s not the truth at all.

This morning, when the teenager woke me because she missed the bus, ‘You kids are KILLING me!’ was what popped out of my mouth.

We’ve all laugh at the sitcoms and comedies that depict a frazzled parent. As I add kids to my own family, that stuff gets even funnier.

Countless Shampoos and Only Two Political Parties … Priorities?

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

When she was about eighteen months old she caught a flu that had her vomiting so severely that she became dehydrated. She looked pale and her eyes looked sunken. We lived in Missouri at the time, and the doctor gave her an I.V. of fluids and medicines to make her feel better. The I.V. succeeded in hydrating her, but it still took about another week for her to get 100% better.
