I'm certain that would be my reality. plus I'd weigh 400 pounds. I like to think if I had more free time I'd exercise more, but in truth, if I was home all day, I'd snack all day. I could wear a medal for non-stop snacking. but I digress. YOU get the medal for putting into beautiful words the things we readers feel in our hearts but haven't found a way to squeeze out of our addled brains. you show your beautiful vulnerable self, and say the things that make us nod, and sigh, and shout YES YES YES. wear that medal proudly! xo KarenKaren Isaacsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13974064156797038415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-73950444165692833852012-05-04T09:10:17.039-05:002012-05-04T09:10:17.039-05:00Lis - you are such an award winner in my humble op...Lis - you are such an award winner in my humble opinion. you have such a gift with words - as well as all the other amazing talents you have - and the fact that you are wonderful a mom to cowgirl - your life is proof - it's all here on Dandelion Seeds and Dreams xoxoBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954870732750934545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-11909229719256126672012-05-04T04:42:42.977-05:002012-05-04T04:42:42.977-05:00Oh my heart melted when I read of the pride Cowgir...Oh my heart melted when I read of the pride Cowgirl has in her medals. I love that children wear their hearts on their sleeves like that, without all that head noise that can often clutter my actions. Lis, I am sending you the virtual medal of being a wonderful friend across the miles :)<br />Lots of love,<br />MilenaMilenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257728004884944098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-86616065749840078282012-05-03T07:14:40.398-05:002012-05-03T07:14:40.398-05:00I agree, I love that she is wearing them loudly! I...I agree, I love that she is wearing them loudly! I always say my children are my best teachers. I learn so much from them daily. And I think, as adults, we should wear our medals proudly too (but maybe, in some instances at least, a bit more discretely?). I know I am darn proud of surviving some of the things I've lived through. They have made me much stronger. And they took the same kind of stamina and perseverance an athlete would need for a long-distance race. So my medal is a handmade cross-stitch on the wall above my fire-place, full of symbolism, ispiration and hope that nobody but my husband and I understand, but act as a beautiful reminder each and every day.Carinhttp://createdwithlove.typepad.com/lifeasweknowitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-72185030385451398532012-05-02T18:33:42.259-05:002012-05-02T18:33:42.259-05:00You know what?

Seriously, I have better things to do!! :) My general approach to dust is "don't disturb it," if that tells you anything, and we'd all love to be more patient mothers but we're just people, the dirty little secret of parenthood. I think we get the kids we get because they can teach us something. (I obviously have a lot of lessons to learn, as I have three children...)<br /><br />I love that she is wearing them LOUDLY. Make a big clanking statement.
