Manic Monday: My Life and Such

Just as I was writing this, Jonathan called and said he had been in an accident. No damage to the car, but there were 2 other vehicles involved. He left the scene and said he would return after he went to work and retrieved his cell phone. He said he was okay, but I was a bit freaked out.

Meanwhile, Emma and Maggie are trying to compete for my attention. I am sometimes glad that I did not have 2 girls when these two get together. There is so much jealousy and acting out that goes on with them, that doesn't happen as much with a boy and a girl. I can only imagine what it must have been like for my parents with my sister and I. At least we started out together, whereas Emma and Maggie are still learning how to be together. It's fun!!

Anyway two days of getting up early and doing devos. I am feeling refreshed, although slightly tired, and renewed. God is good.

What did you get in trouble for the most when you were a kid?
Umm, I am not sure. Probably not going to sleep when I should have. I was never a good sleeper when I was a kid.

Which is your wish that is not yet fulfilled?
Ummm... going back to Paris. I have and continue to want to do this at some point, hopefully with my hubby. It would be a wonderful place to go together!! Some day...

If you have to choose a movie title for your life story, what would that be?
"As the diaper turns" (at least that is how I feel right now); Perhaps "The Princess of the Most High"; Or "A life filled with Grace"...Something along those lines.

Oh dear, my poor son. What a way to start your day. Now, you and Jennifer and Jonathan have each been in a car accident within a year. That's more than enough. It's too hard on us old people. :-)

I think a boy/girl combination is a bit easier than a girl/girl or boy/boy. Dad and Uncle John were very competitive and are not friendly to this day. Of course, there is not much communication between Jonathan and jennifer either but my sister and I are fairly close. I don't know what the answer is. It all comes down to personality, I think.

Good to hear your husband is okay, but how nerve rattling for everyone involved.

I think the jealousy and fighting between kids has more to do with individual temperment. My niece and nephew are a boy and girl two years apart and they fight terribly and there is much competiveness between them.

I hope you'll get to go to Paris sooner than later, because you mention it often and obviously, your first trip there made an impression you! Do you ever get a chance to go to a French restaurant where you live? Last Feb., we dined in VERY French bistro(run by a French man) in Boston and it was wonderful and so different to the usual dining experience for me.
