Family Circus

"Who did this???" I ask.
"Jonah" Noah says.
"No, I didn't. Anna did!" Jonah says.
"No, Yiyah did!" Anna says referring to her baby brother, of course.

Josiah just looks up at me, waiting to see what I will do next. "Who is going to get into trouble this time?", he thinks. I felt like I was in that comic strip called "Family Circus". You remember those adorable clips that illustrate what everyday life is like with little ones. Whenever something breaks or spills, those little ghosts named 'Not Me' and 'I Didn't' come out and take the blame.

There certainly never is a dull moment in the Flood household! I consider today to have been a difficult one only because I threw my back out yesterday. It was the strangest thing! I was doing my weekly grocery shopping at the Super Wal-Mart and all of a sudden, my back gripped me. Of course, as I shopped, it got worse. I got home, cooked dinner, gave baths and that was all it took to cripple me some more! Well, this morning as we woke for church I could not continue on. I got back in bed with a heating pad and to rest some more. I am so thankful for my wonderful husband who decided to stay home with me and help take care of the kids. I did not realize the things you cannot do when you hurt your back~ and that's just about everything!

As I wrap up this long day, I am still thankful for the over-all health of my family. I am so glad to have Rich back in our daily routine again. Although our four angels do not act so angelic at times, I am so thankful that they are healthy as well. I am saying these things because we were recently reminded of how short life really is. A dear friend of my in-laws, who is also a friend of ours, lost her 50 year old daughter-in-law to a battle with cancer. Please pray for the entire McCulloch family. There is also a 5 year old boy named Brandon, a friend of my nephews, who continues to fight Leukemia. Please pray for him and his single mother who has devoted her life to getting him the proper care he needs. I have those people on my heart tonight.

Thank you all so much for keeping up with us...
