The Little Things...
Another day lived. I have been really trying lately to remember how lucky I am each and every day. I am learning to take joy in the little things that I found annoying or took for granted, I now view them as gifts. For example, the opportunity to read "A Fly Went By" for the sixth time in a row to my almost 3 year old I now see as stolen moments together instead of a chore. Hopping out of the car to give Killi an extra kiss on her way into school a treasure. Sneaking into Declan's room when he is supposed to be sleeping, just to say "I Love You" one last day that day a blessing. With three kids ages 3 to 6, I sometimes get caught up in all that NEEDS to get done and forget to live and enjoy life. I have been doing alot better the past few months and I have been happier and more at peace in my life than ever before. I still have days when I am a mean and grouchy mom, wife, friend, sister, daughter and student, but I am trying and I do my best. My life is good and I am thankful for all I have. Peacefulness is a wonderful feeling:)

Share some of that over here!!
I know what you mean, it is killing me that I am so stressed and that I overlook those sweet moments. I am trying as well, maybe after this stupid trip I will see past the end of my own nose :)
Today with Gray at the lab was one that made me realize how lucky I am to have him. Even though he was crying, he pressed his little face up to my cheek and told me he loved me. So sad and sweet all at once.
I hope this works for you as I have suffered for 30 years having such a mean sister! Remember this post when you chrismas shop for me next year! :)
