Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, Oh LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

my 13 yr old son still sits on the table (not dinnertable, but any other table or desk)- just like that. his legs pulled under him- sitting close the book or game or whatever.
boy, I needed a game of Candyland tonight. it's been one of those evenings!
So funny, Kaber -- I can't imagine how long my boy's legs will be at 13 -- he'd probably stretch across the whole table! I'm not all that fond of sitting on the table, but it makes him happy during games (definitely not dinner! LOL). I remember always sitting on the kitchen counter to talk on the phone as a teenager. My other son likes to do that, too -- when it's not covered with dishes and food. :)
Mandy, we had one of those mornings. I don't do so well when I'm not feeling well and still want to accomplish something. Just have to LET GO...
