Just Go With It

It's no secret that in our house we fly by the seats of our pants.  We like it that way.  Most of the time.  So when I say that we came to Houma this weekend to spend the night and then turn around and leave the next day, it shouldn't surprise you.   It doesn't surprise me.  It may stress me out a bit, but the end result, a great time spent with family and renting out a property, is well worth the quick trip.

Over the years I've learned to "just go with it".  I've had plenty of practice.  When we decided to move to Korea, we had a little more than a month to prepare.  Same with our move to Houston.  We mulled the idea over in our heads for a while, but we made the final decision quite close to the departure date.  Our life is so exciting...  Those examples are much more stressful to deal with than the ones that follow here:

Not our yard...

When your child pulls down his pants to pee in the yard, whether it's your yard or not, you just go with it.

When your child pulls all the toilet paper off the roll, without a shred of remorse, you just go with it.















Sometimes there's no reward.  Sometimes you hit the jackpot.

Our reward, besides the ones listed previously, for taking that quick trip to Houma was coming home with an awesome table!  My dad even made it with detachable legs for easier storage!  The kids love it and it already bears the marks of their love (pink color pencil).  I guess I'll have to paint it before the "real" playing begins.   But having kids is like continuously flying by the seat of your pants.  Eventually it becomes a common placed occurrence.  Although, sometimes a dead lizard can get a rise out of you.
