If the sheets I washed today were dry and on my bed, I'd totally be in bed, asleep right now. As it stands, they're drying in the washing machine, and I cannot get up to remedy the situation.
Think Ry will mind sleeping on the floor? I'm taking the couch.
There are a few loads of clean laundry just waiting for me...and to think I had 'this day' in the bag, with 6 kids, made bread and cookies....oy...I've got a long way to go, and a grateful heart that I only had to put 3 of them to bed, and sent the other 3 home.
Today was a GREAT day! Don't get me wrong...was just getting a big head thinking that four is going to be a breeze.
Note to self: Continue to find the good in every moment.
I have clean clothes. Food to feed my children. Talents and Time to share. Great kids (most of the time) and great friends. I have the gospel, an amazing family, a loving and self-less husband and a roof over my head. I have enough.
Four will be another wonderful change (warranting adjustments, obviously), but will bring even more joy and happiness. My children's laughter rang through the yard today. Their friends were happy to stay. I was happy to have them here. I was even happy for the car on empty, but enough seat belts to run dinner to Ryan, then a moment to run into the store without 6 kids while Ryan graciously ate dinner in the car. That moment worked out beautifully.
Good moments. It's that simple phrase and thought that I'm counting on, at the end of exhausting days like today.

I do often lurk on your blog and I think it's because you beautifully describe every women's life that I have nothing to add to it! I end my day thinking what you said, "I have enough. There are good moments to every day." I wish there were more days where I end with "I totally rocked today as a Mom!" :)
