GREAT night out with pat last night...to get some christmas shopping done. but, mostly, i just love being with him.
AND we met the young's for dinner! that was super fun!!!
my kids have off this whole week. we have a couple things planned (passing out LOTS more flyers! and a playdate with the panters!)
but mostly, i want to just ENJOY them.
to hear THEIR stories.
i've made some decisions and said NO to some stuff...now i just need to stick to it...
"The shoes will always be too big, and I'll probably never be very wise, but at least my children will remember, I hope, that I listened to them. Maybe that will be enough. Maybe when they are older they will still bring me their problems and griefs and joys, and though I will be no more able then to make their worlds safe and complete, I will still get to listen. This is a privilege I think we parents often forget is ours until it is lost. Our children have their own stories to tell, you know."

if i DO stick to my guns...things should be a little quieter here on this blog as i look into my kids' eyes and listen a little more closely {i won't be silent...don't worry :-)}
happy week of thanksgiving!!! isn't it the BEST holiday?!?
