Becoming pleasantly surprised . . .

It has been slow going but it seems the complaining is lessening and the respect is increasing. It's only been 7 months since the "official" switch so I'd say that's pretty good.

I've upset the apple cart this week with brand new plans for vbs. Plans that will make it a much better vbs but will entail lots of different thinking on everyone's part. The one person who I expect to squawk (squak?) the loudest has yet to say anything to me about it. I expect that will happen eventually. Right now I think she's in shock - she might be finally realizing she's met her match!

What else? Hmmmm. Baseball and softball. Thankfully it's warming up. It was down right hot today. It won't be hot at practice this afternoon but at least we shouldn't be freezing this time! YEA!!

Speaking of which - time to change the princess into some jeans, myself too I suppose. Time to transfer the laundry over too. What an exciting life I lead!

Oh, and I think I might have been a little bit harsh in my large families post. I guess from the beginning of time families have been having the older children help look out for the younger children. I guess it just bugs me when that is made to happen at the expense of the older children's childhood. Enough on that.

I've got things to do, places to go, people to see.
