Three days in a row . . . we’re on a roll!
Last night, I had dinner with a friend from church. She’s in her mid-70s and is raising her 10-year-old grandson, and has since he was an infant. The child has just been diagnosed with ADHD and she was talking about some of the challenges she’s had during this school year.
I was thinking, as I drove home, that I didn’t think I could handle raising a small child again. I adore my grandchildren and love spending time with them, but I also love sending them back home and getting some rest. When you start naming your blessings, I guess you have to be aware of the situations you COULD be in.
This weekend should be interesting. M and I are going to try – once again – to get the kayaks out and take them up to the Dan River for a paddle. I’ve never pulled a trailer so, with the added help of his backseat driving, this should be a ton of fun.
