The girls had Vacation Bible School last week and it did not occur to me until a few days before they start that while they were at VBS, I was free to do what I wanted. Heck I could pee in peace!!! So the first day I dropped them off and stopped by a local preserve. The last time I had been there was a few years ago and the trail was sort of pathetic. I expected to walk the trail and cross over to a neighborhood to finish my walk.
Well they have changed it and there are quite a few trails and I was impressed and I also was given a good workout. The main thing that was nice though was that I was not pushing any kids in the stroller, having comments from one of them, or being told that they were hungry.
I am finding that as they get older, these moments of peace and quiet may be popping up more and more. Raising them is not getting easier. Don't get me wrong I appreciate the newborn stage in which all you had to do was meet their basic needs (granted Audrey screamed all through those basic needs but it was different). Now I have to worry about the influences of others and raising these two little girls to be adults.
