I read somewhere that having children challenges a parent to face their own shortcomings and grow in ways they never thought they would.This is the blog of a mom in the making. I got a fortune cookie last week which read "You are patient and careful." My 6 year old said... "Well you ARE careful but you're NOT patient." Out of the mouths of babes...

Ugly Giant Grasshopper
This is an example of the ugly bugs that get dragged into my house. I stumble onto them in a bug box or make shift one... near my computer, on the kitchen counter or my bedside table. Lovely! This one isn't even full grown. This year when they all came out of their nests... a cloud of baby grasshoppers... I had the kids out there stomping on them. And I am NOT one for killing defenseless creatures but these things are born enmass and they grown to be giants and eat all the foliage off the plants around the house. And they are so much less messy to kill when they are tiny. Please don't think badly of me. =)
