Fodder and My Sweet Boy...

I am a little jealous of my grandchildren right now. All they have to do is turn the page to see how this all turns out. I have to wait years. I wrote an awesome post about things, but it was fodder, it really was, so I scrapped it. Situations like the ones I find myself in right now have a way of making you question everything. But, lest you think I have fallen off some deep end or something, I have, and always will have a firm faith and belief in my Savior and the gospel. I won't, however, get into all the things I no longer have faith in, because that's where the fodder lies :)

Switching gears a bit, I was having a day with one or more of my children. They were pushing me to the very brink, and with everything else going on, I knew my melting point was not far off. So when Zerin got home, I told him, "This has nothing to do with you, but I've had a long day and I'm this close to blowing, so just keep that in mind." The next thing I knew, he was scrubbing down the BATHROOM of all places...Zerin, the bathroom! I nearly passed out, seriously. And then he swept the kitchen, and he mopped. When he was finishing, he looked at me, and asked, "Are you still close to blowing, Mom?" I need to invest in acting lessons because he's getting too smart and picking up on too many things. Nonetheless, I have a very sweet son :)

That's so sweet. I felt the same way yesterday. I think there is something in the changing of seasons and end of school that is making all the kids (and therefore their parents) crazy.
