So this week, we are talking about time wasters. But before we get to that, and it's an important topic, I wanted to share with you this funny story because for me, it was kind of like a little,

it was funny, but it also was a little reminder to perhaps not take myself so seriously.

So this happened the other day. So a lot of us are taking our parenting quite seriously

these days, right? Because we're worried about what we're going to do about our kids schooling. I mean, we talked about that last time and whether or not we're going to make the right choice between homeschooling, sending them to school. We're worried about how that's going to affect their sports, their academics, their social life,

our family life, all of these things and all of these things. I mean, I've been going through

right along with you. I've been right there with you getting stressed out about all these little

bits and parts of parenting. And, you know, it is important. It's an important job that we have.

And so it's good to

take it seriously. But sometimes we do need a reminder to laugh a little bit and that maybe our kids are

going to be okay. So this isn't like a life-changing moment, but it was, it was funny to me. So I wanted to

share it with you. So, you know, my youngest son, Danny, who is now 13, almost 14, if you can believe that,

he and I were on the way to his flag football game. So some sports are happening here in New Hampshire.
