As we begin the new year, I'm reflecting on what I can change and can control. As a wise friend pointed out to me recently, pick something you have complete control over and find your mojo again. This is my quest for 2010. To get my mojo back!

On family prayer and the fun we have after...

...or what kids say.
The last two days Tommy has had this awful cough, and per the NP at our pediatrician's office she suggested a teaspoonful of honey to help with the cough during the day. Well, Tommy told me that maybe he needed some more honey because it was bedtime and he was still miserable.
So we had prayer and Ryan kept teasing him, saying, "Tommy, stop coughing!" :) Always with a smile on his face and a lilt in his voice, as only he can. Tommy told him that he couldn't stop, that he needed more honey maybe to stop his cough. So Ryan said, "No, Tommy, what you need is a kick in the pants!" You have to understand that this is a running joke in our family of a kick-in-the-pants pizza, a kick-in-the-pants anything. So Tommy, my literal-minded son, said, "No, Dad, that would just go to my bum!" So Ryan laughed and finally was able to say, "No,Tommy, that would go from your bum up to your throat and out your mouth!"
Boy did we ever have a hoot over that one! How did I get so lucky to have a family who uses humor in every aspect of our life? What a blessing my family is to me.
