Will I be ok?

Yesterday was another rough day....of course with Alyssa. It doesn't help things when I am in pain with my back issues right now - it definitely doesn't give me much more patience to deal with a defiant daughter! Oh well! After dinner, Mike took all of the kids outside to "help" him plant trees. He even took Cambrie outside and set up blankets and toys for her. I was so grateful Mike did that for me. He wanted me to have a break and to just work on my scrapbooking or whatever I wanted to do. The kids love being outside and we are really grateful to have such a nice big, FENCED yard! Gavin was the last kid to go outside. As he was walking out the door, he hesitated and asked me, "mom, will you be ok?" I just laughed and said, "um.....yeah!" He smiled and said, "I know why...because you won't have to listen to any whining!" EXACTLY!
