The funny thing is, sometimes my kids get so crazy my husband and I look at each other with wide eyes and say something to the effect of, "We've got to get out of here!" <BR/>That is, we feel like we BOTH need rescuing...LOLKaren Hossinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049412644792482270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-21482258539491206272007-03-23T18:12:00.000-04:002007-03-23T18:12:00.000-04:00This story makes me think of a revelation I had wh...This story makes me think of <A HREF="http://untanglingtales.com/?p=172" REL="nofollow">a revelation</A> I had while also alone with my three children. It is a way to bless my husband.<BR/><BR/>It also (I believe) makes him feel better about himself to feel he has a competent wife-- not someone that needs rescuing from her own own family.

One day we were at church and I found the kids out in a puddle, soaked!!!! My first reaction was ... steam because it would be so messy cleaning up after them. The lady next to me laughed at how much fun they were having and I realized it's really not that big of a deal. I went out there to get them ready to go home and decided what the heck and took off my shoes and ran through the puddles with them. I'll never regret or forget how much fun it was just doing something simple with them and how much they enjoyed seeing me be a kid with them. It's a shame it doesn't happen more often.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406251242052088857noreply@blogger.com
