We were very blessed to stay in this great time share with friends and EVERYONE had a blast. I have four children so too say my life is relaxing would mean my children are non-existent. No matter where we are the requests for food, whining, etc... still come. What am I to do? I can't sit and pout, whine, or get annoyed (as I do sometimes). I have to just go with it. I am blessed that overall my children LOVE each other, are so happy to have one another and have a constant play mate. These are a few of things that I remembered, and relized this weekend. I only have my children for so long, so deal with it and enjoy it. They did not choose to have 3 other siblings to each other they should'nt be punished in my attittude. I am happy that we are able to take them places with four. Yes it's challenging with K still young and still my cling-on and S's need for comfort when we go places but there are smiles that are on the faces and that is what matters. At the end of the night and during the day it was beyond words to watch them laugh with their friends and us adults enjoyed talking, playing board games, and having fun. It was a very much needed time.
During the ride to Big Bear I managed to finish reading a Young Adult novel called Mockingbird by Kathryn Erksine. It is about a young lady who has Aspergers. Her brother's death causes her to search out Closure which she cannot quite understand. The book is done through her point of view with her thinking a lot in her head about how people talk, interact, and what they do. It gave me an interesting look into my daughters perspective on life. The way she sees things and lead to a few topics on things that we have noticed and are trying to understand with S. Super easy read for ages 9-12.
