As I get older I’m realizing that I am a very, very slow learner. Like a bash-her-over-the-head-for-YEARS sort of slow learner. I am FINALLY beginning to understand, see the dawning, grasp the scope, whatever you will, that six people is a lot of people to be in charge of.
I know. Long, low learning curve over here.
My youngest child is nine and a half, and I’m seriously just getting this. Next week I will be in charge of a 9, 11, 12, and 13 year old. I feel sort of foolish. I have a distinct memory of comparing myself to my very lovely neighbor, and all that she was able to accomplish. She said “that’s because I only have one child, and you have four children under the age of 7”. And I looked at her and said “do you think that makes a difference?”.
I am finally catching on. And believe it or not, just knowing that six is indeed a lot is making things easier.

I had a new experience this week. I was running errands one morning, and got back into my car, which I had parked in the shade of the music store. I put my seat belt on, and thought, “this is nice, I’m just going to sit here a minute”.
And then I woke up 95 minutes later.
Still buckled in.

Last night at dinner Mason was trying to prove some point, and says:
“Well, that’s stupid! It’s like thinking that (insert a name of a D&D character) is like (insert a name of a different D&D character), when actually…..”
He sort of trailed off because we were all staring at him, silently.
And then, in a REALLY loud voice he says “ OH! THAT’S RIGHT! HE WENT THERE! HE USED A SIMILE TO PROVE HIS POINT!”
