I feel stretched thin at times. I suppose that is because life isn't just a breeze but requires grit and determination. All the kids have a gob of different challenges and as a parent I just want to solve them all. I know that isn't possible or recommended since they all learn through their problems but as a parent I want their pains to be lessened.
I am going to start preparing the food for the smoker tomorrow. Thanksgiving is going to be a bit of cooking on my part. I enjoy it.
