Today we decided to stay home and have Sunday school with the kids. The lesson Dad talked about was the fruit of the Spirit. The kids learned a lot about how to treat each other and people that are not in our family. They got a picture page of fruit to color.

The rain was something to behold today. Several events were cancelled thank the Lord. Then others went on without incident. I am thankful for the rain; however, getting more than 7 inches at once can be a bit disconcerting.

During our son’s swimming lesson he had to jump from the side of a boat. This is a child that did not like the water on his face. He would barely put his nose in the water. Here he was today jumping from a boat and swimming to his instructor.

Our four year old had to go to the dentist to get a tooth fixed. He did not require any numbing medicine. The dentist came to the waiting room, got him and took him back to the chair. His little brother and I close behind.

I was sitting around trying to figure out what excites me and I came to the conclusion that my tastes have changed. Excitement has a different meaning for me now. It has changed drastically since the wonderful age of 20.

When is enough, enough?

e•nough [ i núf ]   defined is:
1. adequate: as much as is needed
"enough time to go shopping"
2. as much as is bearable: as much or as many as can be tolerated
"in enough trouble already"

This day gets a huge amount of bad press. No one seems to look forward to Mondays. Usually it begins a work week and none of us really feel like getting out of our warm beds to go to work. The children know that this day will bring less TV, no video games and being reminded of the early bedtime for the next few nights.

We did not make it to church today. The car is having challenges and needs some work done. This was a great day and we had a wonderful time at home with the children and the car.
