Ebb and Flow

Life seems to ebb and flow. For a season everything is peaceful and there really doesn't seem to be any hurry in anything. The sand is smooth, the sound of the waves is relaxing. Other times life is in complete chaos and I find myself running frantically accomplishing nothing. Right now I am not sure if life is ebbing or flowing, but it is wild. The waves are crashing and it is time to either stand and enjoy the cold crash or run to the shore and hope to escape. Once one has experienced the cold crash, often times they long for it again. Why is that? I love to have control, and right now things are out of control. Too crazy!!! Oh, this is only a season. Maybe soon it will ebb or flow the other way and everything will be peaceful again. Maybe tomorrow?

Too much Napoleon

I love Napoleon Dynamite. I know the movie has been out for some time now, but I never cease to laugh at his candid comments and blunt life. My two boys love Napoleon as well. My oldest son Kevin, could give Napoleon a run for the presidency skit with his dancing techniques. He has the moves! My youngest son Tucker, who is only 2 1/2, loves Napoleon as well, only he has a bit of trouble saying Napoleon Dynamite. It sounds similar just a little mumbled. I didn't realize how much Tucker had watched the movie until today. I was working on the computer at home intent upon my emails, when Tucker with his curly sandy hair came up to me with his hand in his pocket ( he loves when his pants have REAL pockets) and said, "Do you want some of my tots?" I nearly fell off my chair. We had not watched the movie for days and we had not made any reference to Napoleon that morning. He must have thought, "Oh, I have a pocket, Napoleon has a pocket and he keeps his tots in his pocket. I could pretend I have tots in my pocket." I love it!!! He is so fun! Yes, Tucker and Napoleon!
