Today I had to run to nearest city, 45 miles away and when I got back the kids were doing housework!!!!! I was impressed. I hid out in my room most of the afternoon and when I scoped out the progress I see they are trying. There is a lot they just don't know but hey, they will learn. It felt good that they are trying. and a whine at the end. I have to go to a friend's 85 birthday dinner tonight and I really don't want to. Whine, whine. She looks foreward to it all year so I will go and be gracious.
