Ugh.

Reality: My children are getting older.
Reality Check: Not everything they say and do is adorable.

Reality: Childhood mistakes sometimes become bigger as the child gets bigger.
Reality Check: More people are affected by bigger mistakes.

Reality: Talking about the mistakes of older children starts to creep in on privacy and respect issues of the child.
Reality Check: This issue being dealt with in the house right now makes me WANT to blog about it but I feel it would be wrong to do so because of the child's feelings.

Reality: Pre-teen life isn't going to be easy.
Reality Check: Gray hairs will be abundant.

Reality: PLUS helps Mom and Daughters with emotional balance and ability to handle stress.
Reality Check: PRAYER & GOD'S WORD are the only helps available for the trial-and-errors of growing up.

Not to avoid your topic of discussion here - but were you planning to go to Anna M.'s wedding tomorrow? Thomas and I are driving to Mtgy today and will be there until Sunday morning.
