Better to laugh than to cry.....


Well....this has been one of those days. It started with 2 flat tires and a trip to Taylor's Tire for an hour and a half with Zachary in tow. Then on the trip arriving home pulling in the garage I hit the kids John Deere Tractor that then hit the upright freezer that began rocking back and forth.....is it going to fall on my car? So I throw it in reverse only to find out my front license plate holder was still attached to the tractor so it half-way ripped off. After much tugging and yanking it wouldn't come off. Yeah it's bungeed to the front of the Expedition. I could rattle on about the daily happenings but will spare you the bore. Anyway....it has been one of those days!

So we are ending this most lovely of days with Zachary deciding that the foam soap smelled so good he would drink it! Yeah..like take the lid off and drink it. He came running down stairs foam every where screaming! What is a mom to do? Put water in it...no it would expand the bubbles. Blot it with a paper towel....no the towel would stick on his tongue and then he really would be gagging. So....as I am trying to decide what to do I see Zachary stick his hand down his throat and start gagging as he screams, "It HURTS!!!!" So the only thing I could think was to drink down the bubbles with milk? After a few swallows he gagged and then has been fine since.

Boys? I don't get it. Would a girl take a swig of soap? Try to eat dirt just to see what it takes like? Lick a rock to see what it feels like? Chew on their toe because it just seems funny? I don't remember any of that if I did.

God, thank you for giving me two boys and the adventure they bring to my life. My life wouldn't be the same without the two of them. Why God made boys....to make us laugh!
