Spring Break Stress (continued)
Can Spring Break bring any more stress? Grandma is on the way to recovery and that is good because another set of grands shows up as well. Now all twelve grandchildren are in the same city and even in the same house for dinner Thursday. Unfortunately that nite the father of the three sisters goes to the ER for vomiting and stays there while they give him a bag of fluids. He gets home around six in the morning. Nobody is feeling very well but these children are chomping at the bit, bored to tears that the adults won’t take them anywhere interesting to entertain them. We send them to their old school to bother their prior teachers (they aren’t on spring break until the following week) and look for something to do to entertain twelve children under the age of thirteen.

Where do you find unconditional love?
I was just reading about unconditional love and am reminded of one of my earlier posts about my grandchildren. Sometimes I’m not sure if their love is unconditional or not since they get to do a lot of stuff at our house they can’t at home. So maybe they enjoy being with us because of that but when a little three year old comes up and hugs you and says “I love you” out of the blue I guess that could be considered unconditional love. I don’t see any stress in that at all.
