Philosophical...

First of all I have to say how happy we are that Brian is home from his business trip and life around here can get back to business as normal. I have several cousins and friends who's husbands travel extensively for work and are gone for weeks at a time and I just want to say that I think they are amazing. My husband was gone for barely over 48 hours and I fell completely apart. (I am blaming about 90% of it on TOM, but still... I feel like such a wuss.) I am feeling incredibly grateful for both my wonderful extended family on both sides who went above and beyond to help me while Brian was gone, and also that traveling isn't really part of his job description so any future trips will be few and far between.

Now back to the titled post....

When I picked Jake up from school today it was just him and I running some errands. I can't even remember what we were talking about, but he made a suggestion that wasn't a good idea. I said, "No, because where would that leave us? Up the creek without a paddle."  Apparently Jake has never heard that figure of speech before. He thought about it for a moment and then said, "Well then, you'd just have to float along with the current."  I can't decide if that makes him really easy going or more of a fatalist. Either way it gave me a good chuckle and something to think about.
