If Wishes Were Horses ...


Don't you wish it was fall and all the leaves would be turning beautiful colors ... the air would be cool, the kids would be in school, and I wouldn't be pregnant?

Don't you wish a 9 months pregnant woman could get a full night's sleep?

Don't you wish that your body would do what you wanted it to do, and not just the opposite?

Don't you wish that even with sciatic pain, jelly for hips, and a large mass on the front of your body you could still stand and do the dishes or clean?

If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.

(on a brighter note, I actually almost cried today because Brielle made her sisters lunch and then asked me if I wanted something ... made me a ham and cheese sandwich, brought me water, and did it all without being prompted. Wasn't that sweet? I love helpful children)

Ride!! Wishing can be healthy sometimes...it can give us a goal to shoot for...right? However you have some shining moments to keep the present happy...wonderful, helpful girls! I have say that having an older, helpful girl at the end of a pregnancy and during the first few months of the new baby's life is so valuable. Kudos to Brielle!
