I've been having a bit of a day like that too - slightly stressful *sigh*
I did once get my hair caught in the wheels of a remote control car, it was very painful and I had to be cut free (I was only about 6 though, I never did it again, lol)
We are a modern, mixed family committed to world citizenship and non-traditional education. My husband is in the military; I am currently in school to finish my degree in Classical languages and the ethnography of the ancient Israelites. I am raising two beautiful, creative humans: Isis, 3, and Ezra, 5. All names are tweaked-- but you can figure out who you are.
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with his might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; for even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
