Responsibilities Of A Mother

When a woman begins her role as Mother, there are certain things expected of her.

She will nurture her children.

She will feed, clothe and care for them.

She'll nurse them when they're unwell and hold them when they're sad.

It is her responsibility to teach them and guide them in ways that will
help them become productive contributing adults.

She should direct them in good decision making.


I...


well,

I feed my children.





12C (approx. 54F) outside temp.

Those are my kids.
In the unheated pool.




Miss Ky is the only one dressed appropriately.
Oh, I had a coat on as well, so I wouldn't get cold while taking pictures.

It's Spring Break! All rationality goes out the window on Spring Break. What are you doing to squash the "I'm bored!" cries?


P/S Number one son is, at the very moment of this posting, driving to be with his Grandpa! Thank you for your prayers!! Happy Easter.

  3. Aw...looks like they are having fun even if it is a little bit chilly. Rules are meant to be broken or at least bent a little bit once in a while. :)

    I'm so glad to hear good news about number one son.

    Happy Easter to you and yours!

  4. Nothing like a dip in icy water to get the blood flowing and the adrenaline pumping. I'm sure it will be a memory that they will cherish for years to come.

    Glad to hear J1 is on his way to Grandpa's. That will be nice for both of them...a little bachelor time together.

  7. Glad all is looking up! My husband did the Polar Bear club thing up in Alaska once--it was in the spring too--what is it about spring break??!! Does it say anywhere that you what exactly will pass as food for feeding them? Its a little chocolatey around here lately.

  10. We would totally do that around here too! Glad they had fun and I hope they got warm quick.

    My girls were INCHES away from having an amazing experience today. I took them to that Hannah Montana movie at one theater. 3 miles down the street at the OTHER complex, the REAL Miley Cyrus made a surprise appearance. Had we chosen THAT theater, my girls would have met her today. That is the story of our lives- we always miss out on the something cool by just a smidge. Our Spring Break has been rather boring but it was ALMOST really interesting!

  13. Oh praise God!

    Your boys don't look blue to me. Their lips don't look blue. They can handle it mum - they're boys. Miss Ky is just a delicate flower. Good for you, thinking of something to stop the whining!

  15. To be old and wise, you must first be young and foolish.

    Apparently, yours will be sought out for their wisdom...

  20. Brrrr!
    I can remember doing that when I was a kid. I couldn't wait to get in the pool at the first hint of spring!

  21. Same thing happened to us a few years ago.... a very cold dip in the pool on a very cold spring break.

    I saw your photo/icon on Peggy's Middle Age Ramblings site and decided to stop by and visit. Glad I did.

  22. Well, at least your internal cop makes you feed them, there is that.
    The unmitigated gall. Kids in an unheated pool. Kids LOVE it that way. I shall not call DYFS.
