Kendi Moment


So, as I was typing my previous posts this morning, my beautiful kids were playing joyfully in the bath tub and I was writing about what wonderful kids I have and how my problems are nothing compared to the issues the kids in the psych unit have. Then all of a sudden.......there is screaming and splashing and chaos! I went in the bathroom and kind of lost my mind. I immediately washed Kendi and got her out of the bath tub and informed her that I didn't want to hear anything she had to say. While I was drying her off, she had this sad look on her face and when I asked her why she was pouting. She replied "because it's so hard." I say "what is so hard?" "To be a kid mom. You have to listen and not bug your brother and I don't know how to do that." It was funny. I think being a kid is a cake walk but it probably is really hard.

Very sweet that Kendi girl. I bet it is hard to be a kid, it's not fun to realize how little you understand about things and it is hard to be good when you really just want to do something else. I tell my kids all the time, "it's not that hard, just make good choices", but I'm sure it's hard for them just like Kendi. I love that you have your blog up, it's so nice so see what you're up to when we haven't had one of our weekly hour long talks about crazy nursing school. Love all the pictures on the sidebar, good job with everything! Let me know if you need any help with it.
