Adventures

On the way home from the chiropractor today, I decided to stop at the grocery store just to get ketchup for our hamburgers tonight. How can one possibily eat hamburgers without ketchup??! It was lunchtime. All three kids were hungry, so was pregnant mom, and mom was too tired to think about preparing lunch for all three hungry kids later. So we decided to eat some food in the dining area of the store for our lunch. Our table was next to a bunch of firemen; also eating their food. We were there, eating our yogurt happily and then my three-year-old starts yelling totally out of the blue. "I'm going pee!!! Oh NO!! My chair is wet! It's in my shoes!!". I grabbed my kids, left our cart of food, and ran to the bathroom while the guys all watched in silence.

So the ketchup adventure took over an hour. In times like these, you can only laugh and pray that God teaches you to put the Holy Spirit in control of your days. We got home and decided to play in the water while the spring sun heated our backyard to 90 degrees. By the time I helped the kids out of their clothes and into their swimsuits, cleaned a one-year-old poopy butt, and calmed a child after being sprayed by her older sister, I felt like collapsing. And that is what I'll do now while the kids are sleeping.
