Kids and their Antics
My kids, they keep me going and are the reason I get out of bed everyday.  Today, a friend went with me and Bren to get Faith.  She gets into the car and she looks as me and says, "haha, your getting old.  I will be 6 and you will be 60!!"  I tried so hard to act offended, but all I could do was laugh.  I know what she meant, but man, do I really look more like 60 than 30?  
Then this evening we were starting a fire in the fire pit and she was helping me, she was my paper crumbeler so I could shove it between the wood.  She stood there while I lit the fire(I used a little lighter fluid) and when it shot up, she stood there again and said, "hahaha, mama, you are getting good at fires now that you are old."  Geeze!!!  Do I look old?!  I did not laugh at first, but then she said, "mama, until J. taught you, you could not make a fire, now you are older and you know how!"  Hmmm.....does a month really age an adult that much?!?!  Maybe through a child's eyes, but I don't see any more wrinkles than I did yesterday.  Just a few more grey hairs!(I am serious too).  I have a good little amount of those.  Thanks Dad!!  He was gray in his 30's, or at least that is all I can remember.  
Needless to say, my kids keep me going.  My kids are the reason I get up everyday and make it through.  Even if they think I am old, I am going to keep getting up and going, for them.  I love those girls and all that they give me, daily.
