Nevermind that I am left home with them by myself more times than can be counted due to the Army but still.....

I suggest HE doesn't ask, just tell them this is how it is! But Daddy is the boys best play buddy and I'm the boss so what can I do...:))Sandra Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191775335774130719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458090820392613651.post-29537659302962354892011-03-21T15:55:22.661-06:002011-03-21T15:55:22.661-06:00Lol It is so nice to have those minutes to yoursel...Lol It is so nice to have those minutes to yourself.

I know exactly how you feel when you get a big trip to Walmart as your one alone trip all week! :) <br /><br />Also thanks for stopping by today's post - I am just so struck lately that LOVE (God's love) needs to be our focus as Christians and when anything else becomes the focus, things start to fall apart, people get hurt, people get turned off from Christ.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092770622357988227noreply@blogger.com
