Glad you’re feeling the relief. And the joy. ‘Cheers’ to a great Spring!

Great start on the new year – lots of activity and I love the progression of the posts -

I was also tramatized by tornados growing up – maybe it was Xenia that created the fear??? I remember our 2nd grade as being very active – we seemed to be constantly in the hallway, sitting ‘opposite’ – I never knew if it was better to have your back to the wall that was certainly going to collapse or have your feet against said wall – ready to run at a moments notice –

Either way – as the youngest of 5 – I was forever ridiculed for my terror when the sirens went off –

As for the list – I’m not that good under pressure – I tend to circle back to the obvious – but as a ‘window to the world’ type of guy – I’ll let you into the scene I just saw – one that encapsuled well, pretty much everything and also provided me a ‘tornado warning’ for the future –

I’m enjoying my dinner, nice grilled chicken, steamed broccoli, some rice, and the girls (aged 6 & 9) – who I’m glad to say are showered, in jammies, homework done and Mommy is not yet home from work (8:15 pm) – note gloating by senstive, caring, accomplished dad – were looking for some water – they enter the kitchen – both jump up on the counter and open the cabinet – pulling out cups, and various other items –

Then the tornado happens – the younger one (the one who gets into trouble) pulls out the vitamins – she asks if she can have one – yes I say – may I help – then she says – no – I can open these lids – just push down hard when you twist – and open seaseme – it is open – so now I have direct knowlede that they can readily open medicine jars –

But – the main point is that it is all good – just have to adjust and grow with them –

Have a great time at the Alpha burrow!

I’m get so far behind on my Reader, that most weeks I have to click “Mark All As Read” just feel to feel as though I’ve accomplished something.
