Alpine Sliders Club

KP participated in his first ever sliding contest down the stairs this morning. He won, by a head. Thank god he is alright. It is at those moments, the brief seconds where you aren’t watching when you should be, or you weren’t organized enough to get the safety gates up, or you just forgot the little guy can actually move, those are the moments that everyone has, but those are also the moments that really bad things can happen. As a parent, those are scary moments.

What scares me even more than parental slip-ups are those times when your kids are just playing around and someone gets hurt, or they are just in the wrong place at the wrong time, or they just happen to get diagnosed with some horrible disease. Those things I have no control over. Those are the things that I don’t dwell on often, because why would you? You could kill yourself with worry. But sometimes I do. And when I do, I realize how fragile life is and if you don’t take every second to live everyday to its fullest you may not have another chance.

So, thank god for my big sturdy headed kids and that we have another day.

Enjoy it!
