Stopping to Smell the Roses
Yesterday Ben and I went with Geni and her two youngest girls to a little town about an hour away called Gruene. I took a bunch of photos that I will post later, but this one just seemed to fit what I wanted to write about today, as does the town's slogan, which is "Gently Resisting Change Since 1872". This is a little story about the conversation Ben and I had this morning. As usual I was trying to get the boys out of the house and dressed in a hurry. As I was putting Ben's pants on, I was a little more abrupt that necessary, so I said "Sorry Ben. Mommy is just stressed". He said "I want Mommy to laugh". Okay. Heart falls to floor. I am officially a schmuck. So I stop and laugh and then he hugs me. I thanked him for reminding me about what was important in life. And then I rushed him out of the door to school.

Love it. Love the kids. Reminds me of when Anika dropped something the other day and said,'Not Atta(Anika) mean do that, no mama angry'. Heart on the floor, stomp, stomp. It is MUCH easier to not get angry now.
