My big kids think I'm just spoiling the little ones to death. But, really, I've just learned which fights are important -- I have WAY more fights to fight now than I did when there were only two or three littles to contend with. It truly is survival! And I don't think my littles are the worse for it,really. What they may have lost in the purity of their intellectual development, they've gained in "street smarts" -- learned chiefly from their older siblings!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636115320397120406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-85780008606044790022009-08-04T06:32:45.128-05:002009-08-04T06:32:45.128-05:00I just came out of a HUGE funk myself.

THAT lifted me fully.<br />Do some random act of kindness for a stranger today...or make a box of food to take over to a nearby shelter.<br />I'm not being pious...I think reaching out... heals.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630262224739505223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-68738797693279734242009-08-04T06:06:06.468-05:002009-08-04T06:06:06.468-05:00That Sally is VERY cute!

Of course, in my house, the boys knew who Spiderman was pretty much immediately. :)schnecksvillemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04864015486091653744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-58768334393144492882009-08-04T06:05:44.725-05:002009-08-04T06:05:44.725-05:00Glad you're beginning to feel better. I am no...Glad you're beginning to feel better. I am not ready for summer to end, but I am definitely ready to get back into our routine!<br /><br />As for Sally and Spidey, I agree, my older kids would NEVER be allowed to watch stuff like that--they probably never watched TV, now it is pure survival, hey, whatever doesn't kill'em makes 'em stronger, right!One More Equals Fourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15272351409752530133noreply@blogger.com
