No problem

I've had a rough couple days...I'm not gonna lie. I feel overwhelmed by fighting children, who don't listen and who won't let go of my legs. Who start screaming and crying if I walk out of a room without them. Who follow me in the bathroom so I can't even do that by myself. It doesn't help that I'm sleep deprived and have a full schedule and a sick husband and I'm cleaning up after a dog who relieves himself on my carpet.

BUT I realized this afternoon how much fun we can have wrestling and singing together. How much fun it is to play with the new dog and watch Strawberry Shortcake or build towers together. What an adventure it is buying friends birthday presents. How much we love having people in our home (like tonight for dinner). I've thought a lot about how blessed we are and how even though some times are overwhelming, I'm growing as a person - spiritually, emotionally, whatever.

No problem. I can handle a couple rough days.

Today is a good day.

I feel you Janice! I have felt exactly the same way the past few days. I was reminded this morning to give thanks in ALL circumstances, so I have started a gratitude list. Makes me realize how much I do have to be thankful for.

PS-you are a great mom!
PPS-new dog?
