thank you very much for the reminder,

bill

Thanks Paula!!

Got my day of to a great start!

Emmo

You're welcome!  Figured we parents need that once in a while....for those moments when you feel like you want to throttle them.......and then they turn around and do something so sweet, you wondered how you ever got mad at them in the first place. 

I think they are born with that skill.... knowing just how far they can push without sending you over the edge...

Does your daughter get to use the snowblower with Dad like the garden tractor?

Bill

Five!  Wow!  I would imagine your house has to be a little chaotic now and then. .  But, I bet you can't imagine life without any single one of them.    What are their ages?

My oldest, who is autistic, doesn't like the noise but sometimes will watch from the window.  The youngest, (in the picture) loves to watch, but being only 5, I'll think she'll have to wait a few years to participate.  She does love to see how high and far I can make it fly!

Emmo

Does you show off for your girls by seeing how far your can make the snow fly?

I'm sorry Emmo.  My older daughter has a few special needs though I'm sure not as challenging as autism can be to deal with from what I understand.  She's lucky to have you as a dad, I have no doubt.

hey paula,

it gets hectic quite often.......................theres 3 boys and 2 girls..........

oldest is 16 , next is 14, then 12 , 11, and my youngest is 5 goin' on 6 in may...................

between racing , ball sports and working 3rd shift , its hard to find time for almost anything else..................but i wouldnt have it any other way............

thanks for asking,

bill

Bill

Were those your activities or your kids' activities (besides the third shift job, of course...)..

A sure fire to avoid getting old....not staying still long enough for age to catch up to you.  I figure I have plenty of time to sit still when I am dead. 

What do you race?  I have a brother who races modified Toyotas but used to race MGs. 

Paula

hi paula,

you're so right 'bout not sittin' still..........

the sports and racing are all for the kids and believe me their schedules are hard to keep track of.........

as of right now my oldest races a Slingshot ...............i posted the website in my profile but it doesn't seem to show up.............

2 of my kids arent from me , but they might as well be ....................their s.o.b. "real" dad committed suicide 2 years ago............

luckily we were close by then..................

well ...........back to the wrestling match...............its 4 on 1, i'll let you guess on who they ganged up on...............

have a great day,

bill

Paula,

Thanks for the link.  Unfortunately the kids didn't let me see it all the way through yet, but what I did see was really nice.

&$%!@&*#    kids........LOL. 

When they are sleeping like little angels in their beds....sweetly silent with no arguments or bickering to be heard from them.......you'll have a chance to watch it and appreciate what miracles they are...until they wake up the next morning and it starts all over again....LOL
