I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

What's A Mom To Do?

When Hailey came up to me and said 'Mom, come look at my pichure!,' (picture) I had no idea that I would be so mad! She and Ashlynn had been coloring up to the table and I guess she decided that her paper was to small because she drew a huge person next to the bathroom door. (yes, that is how she draws her people, minus the eyes mouth and nose) Of course I wasn't so mad I forgot to snap a picture before I made her scrub it off the wall. It really was the perfect photo opportunity for her everyday behavior. She is always making some kind of mess that is just a little on the disastrous side!
