Such a busy day today!!!!! Appointments, lots of phone calls, faxes and then add in school, entertaining Sutton, taking care of Mya, planning meals and you have the ever so luxurious life of a mom. It isn't always a walk in the park by any means. There are the days where I want to rip my hair out, lock my kids in the closet or, better yet, lock myself in the closet and just scream at the top of my lungs JUST BE QUIET FOR 5 MINUTES! But, all in all, it's a rewarding job; a 24 hour on the clock, no vacations given, no increase in pay, rewarding job. When the day ends and the crazy littles are in their beds, only then can you really think how thankful you are. Thankful that you have healthy, loving children. Thankful that you're able to have a huge part in the beings that they are becoming. Thankful even though our days are CRAZY lately that tomorrow will absolutely come. It's a given that the sun will come up over the horizon and illuminate the sky with life and energy. And, every night that I lay my head on my pillow, I wonder what that tomorrow will bring. Whether it brings happy little people or little people that the grumpies (The Three Grumpies) visited in their sleep, that tomorrow I still will be thankful.
And this is what happens when that BUSY, BUSY day, that doesn't even leave room for a nap, starts unwinding in the late afternoon. After that little man wakes up he somehow is magically transformed into a giant grizzly bear that screams 'no', 'I don't want to' and 'I want you put me in time out' over and over. How I miss that lovable little man that he had been just a mere 60 minutes before. BUT...I am thankful.
