1. No matter how you try and plan for things, life has a way of throwing you for a loop. There is so much that I have no control over whatsoever, and that is more than just a little bit frustrating.
2. Little Fat has the best schedule ever. He eats, he plays, he sleeps, he plays, he eats, he plays, etc... I'm jealous.
3. After getting recycled baby food all over me, pulling out mystery gunk from the drain is no big deal. Yeah, I'm cool.
4. I've yet to master a balance between work, church, myself, and my family. Anyone have any answers?
5. No matter how bad your day, when your kid gives you a lopsided grin and grabs at your face when you see him and pick him up, life is good. As my older sister would say, big cheesy sandwich.
6. Life is happier in the spring and summer. New life blooming is contagious.
7. An entire nights sleep, uninterrupted, is priceless.
8. It seems that there is always going to be something to look forward to, but enjoying the here and right now is also a good thing to take part in.
9. There is nothing like fresh, homemade salsa. Yummy.
10. Life is good.
I know. Surprising knowledge. Take it for what it is worth, and remember to smile.

I've been catching up on the Big Fat saga. He is darling -- cheese sandwich indeed. I'm sorry about feeling like you really have no control of the situation. I'm assuming that is referring to being a foster parent, and I totally empathize, especially when such a darling boy has completely grabbed your heart. Just hard. If I've learned anything from being in the system, though, it is that not even the powers that be at the county are in control. The Lord is and he is watching over his children. What needs to happen for these kids will happen, and generally it turns out WAY better than if you had control of it yourself. I'm excited to see this little guy grow!
And I'm interested in the balance thing, too. A year with kids has taught me nothing.
re #4
To use a golf analogy, I just try to par each hole (marriage, work, children, self, church). Never any birdies, but at least I avoid the triple bogeys -or worse.

I was just reading through your "Things I like" list, and I noticed a great ommission. Where is FOOD? I mean....come on! Little Fat would imply that Daddy is the not-so-little-fat.
