He freaks about everything...if they cough once I must take them to the doctor...if they fall I must have an X-ray (that's a slight exaggeration). I feel like I sleep with one eye open and am not sure when I will ever fully sleep again. These are my precious little people and I am responsible. My son wants to walk home from school alone (he's 8) but I cannot imagine...yet (although I did at 8). I go in and kiss and hug and will pickup a kid or snuggle with them when they ask, because the are so precious and this time is precious.Holly Lefevrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682463489134875301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437591943203400690.post-71236712975253104002010-02-09T11:46:46.782-07:002010-02-09T11:46:46.782-07:00Children have to be watched all the time.

I would beg God to take me too.<br /><br />Thank you for being honest and real about your own mishaps. We should always take a good hard look at our own messes before we judge others. <br /><br />When my twins were infants, I was carrying them both down the steps one morning, when I slipped and we all went down. One of my babies was screaming, but with no sound. I called 911 and frantically described what happened, and that my son wasn't breathing. By now Jordan caught his air, and he was crying at the top of his lungs. The operator said "is that the baby who's not breathing?" Lol. She said "settle down, mom."<br /><br />It can happen to anyone! It just makes me even more thankful to God for his His protection...<br /><br />Your little girl is an angel!Deborah Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415814125499548149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437591943203400690.post-12191923193602991272010-02-09T08:05:04.699-07:002010-02-09T08:05:04.699-07:00Thanks for stopping by my blog!

We lost our daughter shortly after her birth and she has left me with a constant reminder of how truly fragile life is. I still make the mom mistakes that all of us do but live so much more in the moment with my children than I used to.

Thankfully, most of the time it is just something to look back on and say "what was I thinking?" However, your post does remind us all to hug our children and enjoy the here and now!tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16359944931272497413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437591943203400690.post-89415402525939788792010-02-08T15:46:01.180-07:002010-02-08T15:46:01.180-07:00Great post.

My kids have rolled off beds, fallen down the stairs, had stitches, had to get CT scans from falling out of the grocery cart, choked on a small toy, the list rolls on. It's inevitible to prevent these things and they can change life in an instant. It really goes to show how valuable our time is and who we should be spending it with. Thanks Crystal!!!
