Never Made it to the Tent--ahem

I felt I should come clean. I looked at the tent out the window for quite some time. I thought seriously about my duties as the mother. I weighed the pros and cons of sleeping on the ground and sleeping in a bed--and then I went to bed.

Yeah, completely wimped out. Put Emeline in her crib and went to sleep on a mattress--as nature intended.

"The story is told that in ancient Rome a group of women were, with vanity, showing their jewels one to another. Among them was Cornelia, the mother of two boys. One of the women said to her, 'And where are your jewels?' To which Cornelia responded, pointing to her sons, 'These are my jewels.' They grew to be two of the most persuasive and effective reformers in Roman history. It is so obvious that the great good and the terrible evil in the world today are the sweet and the bitter fruits of the rearing of yesterday's children. As we train a new generation, so will the world be in a few years. If you are worried about the future, then look to the upbringing of your children." Gordan B. Hinckley, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
