Having Kids Can Be A Struggle

Somedays I just wonder why I wanted more kids. Yesterday was one of those days.

Once we arrived home from church and had lunch, my eight year-old and I went to the back yard to do some cleaning of wet tarps and our bounce house. Every thing had gotten soaked at the Stephens County Relay for Life on Friday. My son was a great help in getting everything set up and he even helped clean.

After all the items were cleaned and dried, I told him to go on in the house and get ready for an event at our church that evening. A few minutes later, my wife comes outside and tells me to not bother hurring getting packed up because we were not going. I went inside and my son was is a rage...for no apparent reason.

While we all know there was a reason, he was a great help in the yard all day and he was looking forward to the event at our church that night. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Maybe one day I'll figure out kids...
