I just have a vague idea of where they are and a sort of esp sensor that judges the shrillness of their screams as to whether or not I really need to get up and go check on them. You can't watch them all the time.

Now that I live in walk or train, Japan, I didn't think his prayers were so necessary. Then, Jun turned 2. Well, Grandpa, keep those prayers for safety coming every day! We need God's protection daily, no matter how careful we are! Praise God, Lispy is alright!!!!!

Do you line in Wisconson? I am excited to see my anut and visit Rockford again. I am 41 and the last time I was there I was in the 3rd grade. It will be one of those trip where when its over I'm sure I will be wanting to ring my mothers neck, you can bet. I wish I could visit your farm and meet your lovely boys. My hubby thinks its funny that you all have a "milkdud".Chandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02049857446383419028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154564133586355085.post-24143033754370074042008-11-08T19:27:00.000-08:002008-11-08T19:27:00.000-08:00that's called life.

Worst accident I ever saw was a kid fell off a riding lawn mower and it went over the backs of her legs, nooooooo not pretty. 4 wheelers and ATV's now those can get a rise out of me from all the feet and hands knocked off and even deaths from flipping them but we all got to decide how much fun we want to have.

Whew! <BR/><BR/>No comments here... kids are kids and we parents are only human. They're gonna test the rules we set (surely we put them in place to take the fun out of things! lol) and we adults have things to do other than watch our children every moment of their lives. Besides how are they gonna learn to be indepedent adults if we are always protecting and guiding every thought, step and idea?Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820181812404186364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154564133586355085.post-59568661918724117622008-11-07T19:56:00.000-08:002008-11-07T19:56:00.000-08:00Active boys and you cannot watch them 24/7 so it i...Active boys and you cannot watch them 24/7 so it is a good thing Lipsy's Guardian Angel and Grandpa's Angels were on duty. It is just not possible to hover over them all the time, nor would you want to. Prayers for safety! They worked!!

Crazy-dangerous. A kid getting into a vehicle and flipping levers when your back is turned...it happens. No one was hurt, and that's the important part. <BR/>FIVE boys? God bless you!

Even though I knew how safty conscious my husband and dad were it was hard to let him go,and today they are all still his wonderful memories with daddy or gramps. And that is how our men learned, you don't learn farming from a book. So take deep breath even if it hurts because your choking on that lump in your chest. And how is Grandpa holding up today? My dad can tell us off and how much he loves us in one sentence, can be confusing but you always know where ya stand and I wouldnt be standing any where else. Now on to I won, I won. Your first give away and my first win. Oh by the way, I won, I won!<BR/>email me at tinamariestevens@aim.com.

He is a little wild child and gets into quiet a lot. Anyway, I was busy talking to the Hospice nurse and he somehow cracked his head with the claw end of a hammer and it required staples. So, this lady and her husband, at the funeral of the person I was helping to take care of had the nerve to ask where I was when he cracked his head open...I had a moment of ____( I won't say that here) For you see, I was taking care of the woman's dying father, that she had seen once in 4 years, because my Mother asked me to help (he was her fiance) because his daughter wouldn't. I was SOOO mad!<BR/><BR/>Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into a book, things happen. And I am thankful that he is ok!<BR/><BR/>www.thepost-itplace.comThe Jillybeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211868718377855986noreply@blogger.com
