It's all about Perspective

I've been in Houston for two weeks and have received an attitude adjustment.

#1 My very good friend who we stayed with, is in the midst of a big remodel of her house, which closely resembles my old house. I came home, breathed deeply, smelled that still new house smell and fell in love with my house again.

#2 Two Littles and two Bigs are easier than five Littles. Although my friend and I are alike in a lot of ways, we are different enough that the kids noticed. One afternoon, Ace came circling back into the kitchen after eating a mini ice cream sandwich and said "I'm still hungry, can I have some cookies?" I said, "No. You've had a sweet, so find something else. How bout some string cheese." Meanwhile one of her kids was digging through the pantry for something else to eat. She said, "What did you just eat?" He paused, looked around, then finally admitted, "An ice cream sandwich." She said, "You can't have another sweet either, find something else." To which he replied under his breath, "Man, this is just like Wife Swap."
