A blog fairly random in nature in which lie stories, reflections, ideas, and beautiful things whenever I can get them out. These musings are entirely dedicated to Our Lady Mary.

Being that I'm a grown girl and out of the house, occasionally my siblings look up to me and think "wow! I wanna be like her." This is usually about the time that I receive a request for a sleep over at my place. Tonight, my youngest brothers are over...and after watching Shrek, eating Mac n' Cheese, and playing the game of Life (which I lost to both of them) they have decided that it would be a good idea to light a fire. They were cold and their first thought was to light a fire, not turn up the heat. They have spent the greater part of 30 minutes hunting for sticks and attempting to light a fire. So many times I almost jumped in and said "No! Don't do that! you're gonna burn down the house!" but then I thought: they are not toddlers. They are learning to take care of themselves now. Since they are 11 and 13, it may be time to let them just kinda figure things out...without an adult hovering over them saying "look out for that! What are you doing? Don't do it like that! Are you trying to burn the house down?" I intervened twice, when they wanted to rearrange it and
e a flaming log. They shall grown into fine young men yet.
