Foot in Mouth Disease

I had a particularly rough day in my course on Friday. As I have mentioned, we are all getting tired and restless and ready to put what we've learned in action. In a moment of emotional and physical weakness, I said something to someone that I shouldn't have. This is not uncharacteristic for me when I'm just too tired. My guess is that my apology didn't do much. Needless to say, I've felt terrible about it all weekend (in the True Colors/Personality Dimensions world, I'm a "blue").

Yesterday we took Dave, Nick and four of Nick's friends out to a movie. (Mark, Julia and I watched "The Wild.") They saw "The Rocket" which they said was good, except that a lot of it was in French and they had to read the subtitles. This can be tough for an energetic group of boys.

I had Nick and his friends in the van on the way home and we were listening to a Johnny Cash CD - a must-have since we saw the bio-pic. As we drove home, I listened to this chorus of twelve year olds sing along to "I Walk The Line." I can't tell you how wonderful it was to hear. Their innocent voices in sync with Johnny's, "I find it very easy to be true." It was one of those times when you want to push the "pause" button. I felt like I could have stayed in that moment forever.

Enjoy your children, they really do grow up too fast.
