At September 5, 2011 at 9:33 AM , Sandra Tyler said...: I have to work on that, making my kids do the laborious -- I'm too quick to just want to get things done. "Why don't you get the boys to help you?" My mother said as I was packing up to go back to our house, now that we had power. Good question. Except, I already felt too taxed to ta myself more by getting them off their TV butts. I was ready to turn into a hurricane mom myself. Bad momma. Bad, bad, bad.
