Parenting Fail
I think God has a sense of humor. In fact, I know He does. So yesterday, I was thinking about what I would write about for this week’s Notes for the Journey blog. I thought, “Hey self, maybe I should write something on parenting.” Seemed like a great idea. I jotted down a few notes, planning to come in this morning and WOW our readers with my depth of knowledge regarding the world of parenting.
Oddly enough, around 5:45pm last night, I found myself with a pair of tweezers trying to fish out a foreign object out of my daughter’s left nostril. I was unsuccessful and we ended up taking her to the Simmons Clinic, where our heroes for the day, Korrie and Kendal (Seriously, our Clinic staff is the best!), were able to calmly and efficiently retrieve the bradford pear seed that my oldest son convinced Caitlyn to shove up her nose.
That being said, I don’t feel like I have much wisdom to offer on the subject of parenting this morning...haha! Fortunately, we have an incredible database in RightNow Media@Work of people who have had success, made mistakes, learned from them, and are willing to share their wisdom with others.
