Ahhh, I'm with ya, chickie.
I would like to feel the hot sand between my toes and breathe in the salty air. Maybe next year.
Hang in there...you only have about 5 more years of wiping booties!
This is so good, Beth. Hang in there! This phase of life is going to pass so quickly and before you know it, they'll be graduating from High School. I'll be praying for you.
Now I'm never having children....
Aw Beth! I feel your pain! You are an amazing wife, mother, and friend. Be encouraged!
Nikki, Thank you for your sweet encouragement!
