Today had definitely had its ups and downs. I've been blessed by:
- see Eric run his hardest in the 100 m and 60m hurdles in a the junior pentathlon
- seeing Eric thoroughly immersed in reading
- great company and conversation at my social knitting group this afternoon
- Anthony tidying up the living area and vacuuming to give me a head start on the housework for the night
- Scribing a letter for Daniel to his new pen friend in California
- A very strained conversation about my work (or lack thereof) and how we can manage just on one much smaller income
- The great unwillingness and mini tantrums being thrown by one son whenever he is asked to help out with anything.
- Piles of laundry everywhere that must be dealt with before Thursday (when I'm leaving on a jet plane, la la la la la la la la)

Hi Teresa,
ReplyDeleteAre you flying off on a holiday? I love the blog. I never did get to do the one at work. One day you'll have to show me. Let's grab a coffee next week. Ciao Ciao Connie
Hi its Connie here. The title was set up by Bruce so I guess I'm the Mother of Ynte.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your life is very much like the rest of ours- full of blessings and trials. Such is living. We make it through- the highs cannot be high without the lows of life. Chin up and those mountains of laundry will be gone in a few years when your sons are gone from your home. The time passes fast and you will never have those years back. I know as our sons are 20 and out of the house now for 2 years already. Have a great time where ever you are going.
