This morning in the middle of the getting ready madness (showers, clothes, hair, teeth, rooms), AJ wanted to know how many days until Caleb's birthday. Due to what little of my brain currently functions being used to direct 5 kids 20 different ways, I didn't have a clue. "A-a-a-twenty-a-a-five." As were were headed out the door, I noticed that AJ had written Caleb's birthday on the calendar. Nothing connected until I had been driving for ten minutes. I was alone with my thoughts as the kids yelled along to Lisa Loeb's Summer Camp CD (which I highly recommend). It hit me. I turned down the music and asked AJ how he knew when Caleb's birthday was. His reply, "I just counted the days you told me. I think it is on a Sunday."
It is nice to realize that you don't have to have all of the answers all of the time, sometimes you just get lucky.
