Old tv shows and what we learn from them

I am sitting downstairs and tam is in bed....dale has gun smoke on the big screen.  He is so in love with these shows. He is starting to talk in his southern accent and telling me that by these tv shows he has learned to ride a horse, hate snakes, learn true grit...I am laughing my hiney off. He really cracks me up sometime.  Like you can learn how to ride a horse on tv...really? Really love my hubbinesss.

Update

Things have been going well. It is a real learning process for sure. Dale is getting ready to retire. It is a big change for our family. He is still really young and will still need to be employed.   He is really worried that it may take a while for him to get a job in this economy. I pray everyday that the right job will appear. I know it is a matter of being patient.  It's still a rough process. dale and I have been called to scouts.  I am really excited and happy that dale and I are holding a calling together.  It will require a lot of work however we only have one scout at this time. I am happy to spend more time with him and doing boy things.

Deep breathes

Lately I have learned that taking deep breathes is all I can do.  Having a ten year old in our life has really tested my patients. The pre teens are upon us and so is the attitude.  It has been quite a ride that is for sure. I hope that it will get easier, however not sure that is going to happen. Taking deep breathes and slowly exhale and repeating..relax seems to really help me think before I speak. I find that is my best way to settle the battle.  Don't get me wrong, I love being a mom, and I would not trade it.  There are just times I wish I could take a timeout and relax before I respond to her.  One day at a time. Wow..can u tell its been a long day today..?
