Just Add Love

My back went out again. I’m not going to bore you with another rant, other than to say I wish I could go to the body parts store and buy a back replacement.

Speaking of wishes, I think most dads and moms wish raising kids could be this simple:

Plant baby seeds
Water
Sprinkle some love
Nurture
Voila…

my daughter, the plant

my son, the plant

    Bummer about your back mate. And ya just know raising kids ain’t that easy eh? If only they came with an Instruction Manual! And an On/off switch. And volume Control. And Mood Control. And Appetite Suppressants. And….

  3. Sorry about your back. Hope things improve quickly.

    I wish it were that simple to raise kids, and I guess in some ways it is, especially when they’re young. As they get older, it takes more love than anyone could possibly imagine to get through the really challenging times.

    Can you tell that I need lots of vodka this week? *grin*

    Bummer about the back….
    cute pictures of the kids though…and really nice pot

    have you tried any alternative stuff like acupuncture or chiropractic? As well as some physical therapy? or is it a disc problem?

    • The doc said a chiropractor would be helpful if I saw him the same day my back went out. But it was already after 4pm on Saturday when I left the doctor’s office. Not a disc problem. Ligament injury.

    You’ve been tagged! Visit my blog for details. : )

  6. Hee hee – I wish that too – great shots. Sorry about the back…again. That’s just plain miserable. I feel that way about most of my joints and I DREAD getting older with them knowing it will only get worse.

    Hugs,
    Holly

  11. Leslie says:

    I love the pictures. Sorry about your back.

  12. Colleen says:

    I forgot to say I am sorry about your back : ( when you find the body parts store let me know where it’s at…I may trade in a few parts myself.

    Feel better!

  13. Danielle says:

    Crap….about your back. I hope it gets better soon.
    Nothing worse….keep us posted…

    Love the flower pot kids….x

  14. peepnroosmom says:

    Ouch! I’m sorry about your back again.
    Cute little Flower children! Wouldn’t that be nice to grow them inside in pots then transplant them outside when they become teenagers! Or at least to the garage!

  15. Dixiechick says:

    Aww..Daddio…you poor thing..hope your back gets better soon. Have you been to the Doc about it? Why does it keep going out so much on you? Back pain is one of the worst pains there is, aside from labor, of course. Love the kids in the pot picture…too cute! Your little ones are so photogenic.

  16. Sunrunner says:

    If you find the body part replacement store, can you see if they have some lungs for me? I’m sorry about your back!

    Cool pictures!

  17. Shanny says:

    sorry about your back. LOL! I wish raising kids were that EASY PEASY! BTW nice pots.

  18. Kay says:

    Wonderful pics! And I agree … but at times, those lil hands hugging you or holding your palm at night makes everything worth it.

  19. oh that it would be that simple!!
