Randomness

Is it possible to prepare a Young Women's (church youth) lesson via some form of osmosis? Hmmmmmmmmmmm. So. Very. Tired. i've been thinking about the topic all week and hopefully my random thoughts that have been flitting around will come together. At some point. Soon.

Today was a good day. We brought some big rocks home from the rockyard and got some things done in the yard. The boys love that rockyard, man. They could watch front-end loaders load dumpers all the live long day. And it's amazing how just edging with rocks around the mulch that goes around the tree in my front yard makes it look so much nicer. Pathetic little tree (an ash. Should i be offended?). But it sits pretty now, at least.

And Bode asked me a very random question tonight as we were tucking him into bed. He asked if i'd yelled at him today. Now, any other day of the week, i wouldn't have to think on that one. But i stopped and thought and realized, noooooooo. I didn't yell at you today, baby. We both kind of nodded our heads as if to say, ya, i like it better that way too!

Awesome. Sometimes Jeffy has a no-whine day, and at the end we just hug and say, "that was great." If only he'd remember that!!
