Saw hub-bub about this article on the news, and I completely disagree with this woman’s point of view.  I respect her right to share it though:

I think any one with moderate intelligence would tell you that their children are, in fact, witty, funny, entertaining and entirely interesting.  I will agree that some of the chores that children inevitably create can be monotonous and, at times, boring.  But the subjects themselves are anything BUT boring.  After reading the article, you will probably conclude, as I did, that this woman didn’t spend enough time with them to know.

My boys just got back from a Father/Son Campout.  They are filthy dirty and HAPPY.  Derek seems more relaxed than I’ve seen him in weeks.  I love what dirt, fire, and fishing can do for males.

Samuel is officially POX-free.  We lovingly call him poxy-woxy.  He is an all-around delightful baby…cooing and grinning all the time.  An 8-year old neighbor was over yesterday and said, "I’ve never seen a baby smile that much!"  And he is sleeping 7-8 hours at night, with a regular bedtime at 9 pm sharp.  That puts us up a little early for my liking, but I am not complaining (this is me not complaining).

Pox recovery, for me, will take a while longer.  The house is a mess and I’m exhausted.  But the boys are happy, and that’s all I need…at least, for now!
