What just happened?

     Never a dull moment in this house of mine.  Just last week I caught the 3 little ones out the upstairs window on the roof.  Yeah!  I guess they were practicing the fire drill?  It scares me to think what might have and could have happened had I not gotten up there when I did. They had only been up there a couple of minutes before I ventured up to check.  I was telling this story to some friends of mine from Arkansas and their oldest (age 15) asked, "Who was watching them?"  After some chuckling I answered.  "I was."  Even when you watch them, there is always a moment they find to do something totally unexpected. 
    I always thought I wanted an older 2-story house like the one we are living in now.  Wrong.  Unless of course I didn't have children.  Ok, maybe not even then.  I have begun to dread climbing the stairs to check on little ones, get kids up in the morning, clean and ensure my youngest haven't ventured outside.  We have found a place in the country that should do the trick.  No more 2-story climbing on the roof.  If they fall out a window, they'll survive.  Guaranteed. While I dread moving again, I embrace the idea of safety.  Safety for my children, my sanity and my household in general.
