Earnest Parenting: Working Towards Balance

    I like extremes much... Life seems so interesting with it. Really cool... If people dont like extremes they dont live full life. We should grab everything we can...Thats my position.

    Hi Amy,
    hahha! That's not gonna happen two days in a row. The extremes are good because then we really appreciate the "regular" days. With four boys, one of them is always going to be out of sync with the others. You must have the patience of Job.

    hey, come and visit me on TGIF. I launched a give-away today with Genuine Health Gift Baskets to give away. Send a link to enter, be a guest poster or leave a comment. Very easy!

    "It feels good to finish with smiles on faces."

    Wow! I'm sure that you'll have more days like that. Just seeing the boys, I'm sure will put a smile on your face and that's all that matters. There's always hope everyday with smiles.

    Single Maria, it depends on the extreme. I don't avoid ALL extremes....that would be extreme. ;) However, the pursuit of extremes can become a goal unto itself and take over an individual's life. If you think that you can only be happy when you're doing extreme things, then it's natural to progress to doing more and more extreme things until someone gets hurt. There is wisdom in being able to be content with moderation. And then have some extreme fun every once in a while. :)

    Cheryl, we didn't do too badly today! Not as good as yesterday, but still halfway decent so I'm happy. Patience of Job. Hmmmmm. Sometimes yes, sometimes really really no! OOoo, a giveaway! I'll be over shortly!

    Online Printing, I hope so! Today went rather well although I did speak sharply to certain individuals who were more interested in a gadget than eating their lunch and getting on with the day. All ended well though. :) Laundry done, bellies filled, and I even had time to vacuum and make a loaf of banana bread. They should enjoy that tomorrow! The bread, I mean. I doubt they care so much about my vacuuming.

    Hello Amy,
    Hope you're doing fine.
    Its good that all your kids are cooperating with you from such an early age....Hope they will do the same when they grow up and we grow old.

    Thanks
