I've been quite frustrated with myself since I started this blog. I have SO many great things to post, but I haven't made time for it. I tend to start projects and get caught up in them. This past weekend for example, we were supposed to be out of town but due to sickness (blah) we decided it was best to stay home and recoup. My idea of "relaxing" usually consists of getting something done with that huge block of time that I've put off. I cleaned out the closet under the stairs. HUGE endeavor, but so fun and worth it. :) Anyway, that's my excuse for not posting before now.
Today I woke up with a terrible headache. The kids and I decided to make this an art/craft/jammies day. (Okay, more me than the kids!) While I was sitting here sewing I start to think about my blog, get frustrated, (where do I even start?). I keep thinking we haven't had too many adventures, not anything super exciting, and then I realize that's it! Peace. Yes, we've been dealing with emotional breakdowns of a 2 year old girl, discipline issues of a strong willed 4 year old boy, and the hormonal rollercoaster of a pregnant woman, but all normal, everyday things. I'm sitting here sewing, listening to cheesy kid's worship music, the kids eating dry cereal, reading books and playing with toys at my feet and I realize how much I love my life! I often have these moments, but they are beginning to happen more frequently. :) I want to treasure these little people even more than I already have, but more than that I realize that God has given me so much. This is truly everything I dreamed about. I knew when I was 4 years old this is what I wanted with my life. I played "pregnant" so much that my mom forbade me to play it any more (of course then I just played it in my head and pretended that I wasn't "showing" yet or when convinced to play barbies with Tiara, mine were ALWAYS pregnant!). Praising God for the little things, that actually aren't so little, like when I tell the kids it's school time Ava almost always yells, "Wait for me!", Jeff calling me twice a day to keep me sane and coming home every night to a messy house but not complaining, watching "big kid" movies with my little boy, and even listening to cheesy kids music, yep that's what we're doing today. Thank you God for so many blessings. :)
