I woke up this morning to my buddy poking my face with his finger...my princess telling me she's hungry...and my little man yelling from his crib, "mama, mama."
I rolled over, grabbed my cell phone. I checked my email and then I checked Facebook. All over Facebook is where I find out that Osama Bin Ladin is dead! What? I find this out on Facebook?
I used to work in the news industry. I could tell you exactly what I was doing when I heard that Saddam Hussein was captured. I could tell you where I was when the Twin Towers were attacked. I could tell you where I was when Elizabeth Smart was found, safe.
I could tell you so many things about current events. And the way I find out about Osama, is from Facebook, Really?
I guess that's what happens when you're the mom to three young kids all under 5 and you go to bed early.
I found out on FB also! I also had a friend who cautioned how to tell your kids. That when her husband told her 7th old he did not understand and was sad. I love, that "if" I decided I want to tell my kids, I can relate it to Nephi & Laban and instantly they would understand that is death is a good thing. Not the same circumstances, but the scriptures & the Gospel make life events easier to understand & explain to our kids!
