I'm not sure if my dad reads this, but yesterday was his birthday and I just want to say here how much I love him. I'm so thankful for a father who not only was present as I grew up (unlike so many fathers today), but who also prayed for me and demonstrated a Christian life before me. He taught me to drive, taught me math, corrected my Spanish, drove me to work, and helped me in so many ways. He still prays for me, as well as my little family, and I am thankful for that.
I have been blessed!
Thank you, Daddy.
And thank you, Lord.

Too young
The day is calling me outside....but I have things to do inside. Besides that, NB is laying down and PJ5 will be home from school soon.
The boys went to the park last night with their grandmother. While they were there an older (but still little) boy attacked them! I don't know how else to say it. I was shocked when I found out. She said she saw the other boy push PJ5 down and start hitting him. Then later he did the same thing to NB! NB was crying, but we don't know if it was fright or pain. PJ5 didn't really react to it. NB has a bruise on his chin (but that could be just from playing), and PJ5 has a bright red mark on the back of his shoulder that is either a bruise or a bite-mark.
Before bed last night I said (emphatically) to my husband, "Our boys are going to learn how to defend themselves and maybe sooner than I thought" He laughed and said "I never thought I'd hear you say that!"

While I'm at it...
A few more confessions:
I like to cook, but I don't like planning meals.
I would rather read a book than do housework.
I get to sleep in (most days) while my husband has to leave for work at 6:30am.
I put in a Veggietales video for the kids when I need to do something without their "help".
Just to name a few.

Confession
Confession is good for the soul, right?
Well, I confess that I should have been wearing my glasses Sunday. And because I wore my contacts instead, my eye infection flared up. That's why my eyes were so bloodshot the rest of the day on Sunday. I just couldn't bear to wear my 11-year-old...big-round lens...80's-looking glasses from high school. (vanity, vanity...)
The good news is that I found an eye doctor that will accept our insurance. The bad news is that they can't get me in until next week. So this Sunday I'll have to come up with another idea to avoid wearing those glasses. I'm willing to wear them in order to drive, but when I get to a drive-thru window or have to go inside, I take them off.
You might think "They can't be that bad!" But even my husband (who is wisely careful of what he says about my appearance) admitted they looked 80's style. (he said this with a hidden smile)
--------
BTW, I am using eyedrops for the infection but apparently it wasn't completely healed and the contacts just irritated it again. Or else there's something on the contacts that is causing the infection.
