The days were growing long and I needed a break
But alas my five kids someone would need to take.
Along came my sister who was willing to try,
A long four day week with 8 kids and sigh.
She is 8 months pregnant to give her all the say,
I wondered if she'd make it clear up to the day!
Thankfully, for all of us she made it through
And my kids enjoyed her fun loving company too.
She was sent straight from Heaven, and A agrees
we had such a great time so we're down on our knees
Thank you S and T you've done it again!
Being a lifesaver, sister and friend!
Okay, I am not a poet but seriously we had such a good time and just the break I needed to reflect and refocus. S watched all the kids and I knew they were in good hands so I didn't even worry. We went to Newport Beach for one of A's conferences. (Probably the last for a long time, since there will be no money for the company to afford it:))

Taneil!!! I love the poem. You are so lucky to have an amazing sister to watch your kids for that long. My sisters have done some serious time around here, too. I am glad that you got a fun vacation. I could use that right now...

CONGRATULATIONS on your WELL deserved vacation! I am going to send this link to MY sister. She has NEVER watched my kids so we could go on vacation (probably why we have never been!) Never mind that I have never watched her children (and that she has more than I do and that she has been a mom for a LOT longer than I) I still think she should do this for me. Especially if she wants a poem!
ReplyDeleteTaniel.... WHY DIDN'T you call me? We live near there, and could have come down to see you while Adam was in his conference. Silly. I'm glad you got a chance to get a way.
