Today has been a rough one but I know that I will have many days like today. It comes with the territory of being a mom to little kids. I listened to a little talk on my mormon channel app today that really made me think about why I am here and what I am doing. How God has me right where He wants me, right where I am supposed to be. I am so blessed and GRATEFUL that I am able to stay home with my kids. Grateful to Mike who not only helped me make the decision to do so but who works so hard so that I can.
1. On the way home from bringing Drew to school, I stopped for a fountain drink and Susanna knew where we were because she kept saying "Icee! Icee!" I got her a small white cherry one (duh, no yucky stains!) and she sucked that thing down like no other! I cannot believe she doesn't get brain freezes when she drinks those, she does it so fast! I'm trying to do better about teaching her to say thank you, even though she does a really good job most of the time, so I said "Susanna, what do you say to mom for getting you that icee?" She said, in the sweetest voice, "cankoo mama! awww, uv you!" and gave me such a sweet and super cold kiss on the lips. It was priceless!
2. I got to see my hubby for about an hour half way through his work day.
3. Drew and his teacher walked to our car after preschool, holding hands, both with smiles on their faces, like old buddies.
4. After the crazy afternoon, Drew was super talkative but all I wanted was to sit in silence in the living room. I asked him for a break and explained to him that I was tired and didn't want to talk. He came and sat with me in the recliner and put his arm around me. Such a sweet boy.
5. I love the smell of the Bath and Body Works airfreshner in my kids' bathroom. It is comforting to me for some reason but every time I go in there, which thanks to this baby I'm growing (another reason to be thankful) happens to be fairly often (TMI? sorry!) I just get such a good feeling. Weird, I know!
There were more, I'm sure, but those stick out. Praying that tomorrow is better, but then again, how blessed I am and how much worse things could be, I know, but we're all human and have those feelings, yes? I'm feeling very grateful for the good things in my day...the good things in my life that I probably don't even really deserve.

You are such a good mom and doing such a good job!! We all have those days, though we don't like to admit it... but the good thing is that despite the hard stuff you still paused to be grateful for the tender mercies! Your kids are lucky to have you ;)
