My week has been anything but fun. We had a scare with the possible mumps....
thank goodness it wasn't! However all the kids are snot nosed and cranky and
my poor immune system finally gave in and I felt really awful for a few days.
By the way, as I am writing this I am hearing all the toy bins being emptied
one after another on the wood floor...sigh, but I have no more energy to bother
with it right now. Yesterday was a "sneak outside and cry my frustrations out
then back in before any kids noticed I was gone" kind of day, to change another
diaper and wipe another nose. This morning was the icing on the cake...loaded 4
children into the van...and what do you know, I think we might actually make the
doctors appointment on time...but the van won't start!!!! So back out of the car
with Robby trying to diagnose the problem... which I admit at that particular
moment was NOT helpful. So back into the house, which is a total wreak....if I
could find the phone number of our maid...I'd call her and give her a piece of my
mind. (HA!)

Oh, I felt so bad for your "disaster" of a day. Did you ever make it to the doctor? I loved what you wrote about your son and his wanting to "help the spiders"...aren't kids hilarious? And I loved what you wrote about the paradoxes of motherhood: wanting them to grow up and do things correctly, but the sadness that ensues when you realize they aren't your "babies" anymore. Also, I'd love to try the pandisal recipe sometime. Tell me if you made any changes to the recipe when you make it. (I'll let you be the guinea pig, or rather your family!) Keep writing--it's great to read!
