God Bless You and your family. My five are now all grown and I now have 11 Grandchildren. I watch my sons and daughters with their spouses deal with their young ones and listen to their battle stories, and Oh, how do I remember those days and the phrase "this to shall pass" frequently comes to mind as I say to them , "don't worry, it won't be like this forever, it eventually gets better !! right.. until they hit the teens and the real battle begins and once you survive that is when you get your "Badge of Honor"..and the fun of watching them go around and around with their youngins :) One of my sisters raised 4 kiddos, another sister raised 3 boys. The best days are family gatherings when us "old Ladies" sit back and enjoy observing all the kids and grands with our feelings of pride that "we made this" and we survived !! Have fun and Enjoy you little ones now, and know your day will come also..... eventually.... <3annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-169161056851732653.post-49763930803280489712014-01-22T17:39:56.756-06:002014-01-22T17:39:56.756-06:00WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU THINK SELF-CHECKOUT WAS...WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU THINK SELF-CHECKOUT WAS EVEN AN OPTION? WHY?!? WHY?!?!<br /><br />Sorry for the CAPS...Mike insists on using self checkout every time we go shopping...and then proceeds to huff and puff in frustration when the machine YELLS at us constantly. "Something unexpected is in the bagging area. Please remove..."<br /><br />No, no, no! My sanity can't handle it.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295761498633673726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-169161056851732653.post-25460199326854906712014-01-21T11:50:34.980-06:002014-01-21T11:50:34.980-06:00This is so funny. That is for everyone except you!...This is so funny. That is for everyone except you! Every time I get behind someone at the store with 3-4 kids, I think of you and say a prayer for the person in front of me. You are amazing to even consider going with four kids. I refused to take Brad to the store with me after a few bad trips and he was just one kid! ugh. I took Miss Kellie all the time.Bettynoreply@blogger.com
