100%

I feel like I'm functioning at 100% now or at least 100% better than I was yesterday. I don't know that I ever function at 100%! Some little thing called human nature seems to pull me to laziness and convenience over productivity! So I thank you again for your prayers!
We were able to make it to our first fun event - Pump It Up JR. This truly is a great place! The kids can run and play and there is no getting lost and not too many injuries. Bonus: they get wore out! I hope there is one near you.
Now we are home for our sweet naps and I'm fighting not laying down myself! But I need to do some catch up from yesterday. Laundry. It's a never ending battle.
But more exciting, I've just gotten my new book for a "book club" I'm doing with my sweet friend Mer. Long story short it's a blog book club and I'm hoping that this will keep me accountable. We are reading The Mission of Motherhood: Touching Your Child's Heart for Eternity. (Grammar fanatics can tell me how I'm suppose to designate a book because I couldn't remember and I'm too lazy to find my MLA handbook. Hum? I recurring theme this laziness!)
I digress. I've only read the intro, but I'm anxious to get started. In the intro she talks about her mother's hands. This is such a beautiful picture of her remembering her mother's hands and the sweet things they did for her. I remember my mom's hands very vividly. She always (and still does) grew her fingernails long and was never without them polished.
I wonder what my children will remember about my hands!?! Are they ever still enough for them to see? Or am I too busy to read that book or too anal to get them dirty with play dough? I pray that I am intentional with what I do with my hands. So that I may truly touch my children's hearts for eternity!
