This trip has been interesting. Some good, some bad, but all interesting. :)will post pics after I get home and upload them. For now, I am looking forward to the kids' fishing trip with Dad, Grandpa, and Uncle Jon.
Gratitude List:
* A good night's sleep
* A nice slow day yesterday- I did laundry and knit and read a book. Kids played w/my in-laws' enormous collection of legos.
* The "Quick After-Battle Triple Chocolate Cake" turned out well.
* Audio books. I used to avoid and delay car trips because of the fighting in the car [I know, mine are the only kids who do this]. Listening to books keeps them quiet and calm and WOW so much more fun to ride with!! Thanks to my MIL for the great suggestions: the idea, and the books to try.
* Cake balls. Yes, they are 'heavily addictive.' And I'm making them AFTER everybody goes fishing today.
* My mother's patience with me. There are so many skills that she taught me: cooking, cleaning, sewing, patience. I'm sorry I was a slow learner.
* daily meditation time. I notice the difference when I miss a day.
* hugs from kids- even the 'stealth' hugs [which always surprise and sometimes startle me]
