Yes, there will be a 4th Stricklin

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break." - Chinese proverb - - We are a family. Our faces are different as are our races. In the end, what really matters is our love for one another. We are blessed beyond measure. Enjoy as we share pieces of our life with you.

Mother of the Year/Wife of the Year?????

Do you think I have a chance to win either of the awards listed in the title:

1. When I plot in my head to send Sawyer to chaperon Ansley on her dates, as 'payback' for her being mean to him when they were little? How bout I only use this approach to potential dates I don't trust? How about I just make her bring her dates inside and let each sibling ask one question of the beau before I let them leave on their date?

2. When I'm happy that my husband moved his office to the basement instead of having it upstairs where the rest of us 'roam'? I truly am excited that he's working from home but it was getting hard to keep 3 kids quiet every time he was on a conference call.

3. When I won't let my 5 year old watch Zack and Cody or Sponge Bob? "But Mom, they're funny!"

So, I'm thinking those awards are not in the cards for me. Perhaps, I'll let the kids help me make chocolate chip cookies and we give them to Dad. That's bound to get me some points!
