Just letting it out.
April 11, 2008
Dude, I am so, so blessed. I know it. On the ferry home today I watched my kids watching TV with their arms around each other, and I realized again, I am so, so blessed.
At the same time, I wrote my friend an email tonight, telling her about the boats in the dock at Victoria's Fisherman's wharf, and how I wandered around them, and my eyes caressed the smallest of them. I was dreaming of days in the future when the children will be all grown up, and Chinua and I will live on a tiny boat and read books and eat fish and sail into the blue.
You have to know that I am all for living in the right now. And that I treasure my precious young.
So as I wrote to my friend, I realized that dreaming of these (small) boats is a good indicator of how the kids have been DRIVING ME UP A WALL. Â I'M GOING TO GO COMPLETELY INSANE IF ANYONE WHINES AT ME EVER AGAIN.
Okay. I'm done.

That's alright Girl, you're not the only one who cannot tolerate whining. I'd rather have outright fist-shaking disobedience than whining manipulation, any day. If you can't let it all out on your own blog, where can ya for goodness sakes?
i think Hannah whined at me for a straight hour this morning because she didn't like the pants i put on her. High decibel whining. praying for you, girl!
I like to look through real estate ads for studio apartments. My husband and I get terribly sea-sick, so the little boat just wouldn't work.
Sounds like the last day or two at my house...
