Boys

It has come to my realization recently that I am living with 3 boys! Yikes! I am the lone female living in a house with lots of testosterone. Some days I feel quite outnumbered. Like on the weekend when trying to decide what to do our options tend to be driving through big mud puddles with our giant truck, hiking a mountain, driving ATV's up dangerous rocky cliffs, or visiting powersports dealers to check out said ATVs and motorcycles. How did I ever come to be here? Why doesn't anyone want to sit and read or scrapbook or sew some curtains? I just didn't have any idea how much different life could be with all these boys. I am trying to adapt and like or at least tolerate these new activities because I know that that is the only way for me to bond and spend time with them and that is so important to me. After just a few years with Joe I realized that to be able to spend time with him I had to help or at least go along with him when he went out to work in the garage or build in the basement. And strangely enough Joe's mom told me a similar thing, she would spend many an hour sitting in the car in the garage talking to David as he worked on the car. My relationships with Joe and the boys are of utmost importance to me , so I guess from now on if your looking for me I'll be out doing some crazy activity like climbing up the side of a mountain and bonding with my boys!
