best of the day

March 5 - Trying hard to think of the best of the day because it wasn't the best day.  For no reason, things just did not click today.  I felt very much like a mom of small children today.  I sometimes forget that I am.

Jill threw a baziillion fits everywhere we went = many embarrassing moments
3 hours sitting at gym with Anna = exhausting. 
Miss Veda gone = Zach and Mag not working so hard = waste of my time. 
Ron gone close to 14 hours = angry tiger mama. 
All the kids acting like they have spring fever = bouncing off the walls
Tired mom = 7:30 bedtime for everyone
4 science fair projects = frustration

So, it was just one of those days that makes me grateful that I don't have many of those days.

You are an awewome woman, Katie, and don't you ever forget it. I am so proud of you for your efforts in parenting, your creative talents, your willingness to make the hard decisions, your desire to give your children many exciting opportunities to grow and develop. I was truly blessed with the five children the Lord sent to my home. Thank you for adding so much joy to my life.

You are amazing! Sometimes we do need those days to remind us how grateful we are for the others :)
