A guy who lives at Lake Conroe (50 miles north of Houston ) saw a ball bouncing
around kind of strange in the lake and went to investigate.
It turned out to be a flathead catfish that had apparently tried to swallow a basketball
which became stuck in its mouth!!
The fish was totally exhausted from trying to
dive, but unable to, because the ball would always
bring him back up to the surface.
The guy tried numerous times to get the ball out,
but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut
the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry catfish.
You probably wouldn't have believed this, if
you hadn't seen the following pictures:
Be kinder than necessary because everyone bites off more than they can chew
sometime in life...
I am feeling very much like that. I feel that I have bitten off more than I can chew with my youngest kids. I am so tired. I wish I could freeze time and sleep for a couple days. But, alas, there is no rest for the weary and we must just plug along. Sometimes I think I would be a better mom if I could just have some time to step back and regroup. The only comfort is that Heavenly Father knows me and my husband and my children. He is very aware of us. I am doing the best I can to stay afloat and be the best mom I can be, although I see miles of lacking each day. Some day He will make it all right and heal my poor kids suffering through my inadequate mom syndrome. Will someone please pop my basketball?
