"Are We There Yet?" (Lambs, Valentia Island, Ireland)

"A man must learn to endure patiently what he cannot avoid conveniently."
- Michel de Montaigne

Some points of motherhood are universal to many species. I'm so sure of it, I'd be willing to bet my "mom handbook" on this one. When you allow yourself to just sit & observe another group of animals- such as sheep in this case...I can hear so many little scenarios playing out, "Come on, keep up....and quit making that face at your brother. Don't dawdle around, there could be a wolf around that rock...or a tourist!" "Mom wait. There's a resting rock! Can we stop here?" "Hey she poked me" "Well he stepped on my side of the grass". "ARE WE THERE YET?" hehehe. I'm sure I saw that poor mom roll her eyes! Yeah, I know the look, doesn't matter what species!

Some good news on the radiation treatment front: Friday I am at the mid-way point of treatments. 'Only' 17 more weekdays after that. I'll be glad to be on the other side of this adventure!....heheh - "Are we there yet?"
