Concrete Cheerios.

I have so much to write and I never can find the time to compose even the shortest post. There are two little creatures that take up my days and a handsome one who takes up my nights!

I am blessed. Sometimes stressed. And trying to be joyful always!

Blessed:
These days are a treasure. You probably know those moments...you look around and realize that you really want five more kids to fill up your house (what's another kid or two anyway)... a dog to run with your oldest would be nice (sure, the kids will help care for him)...and non of the mess really matters because the scrumptious babies gave you kisses and said "i love you!"...you have family dance nights (which no one outside the family is allow to witness because we are SO UNBELIEVABLY Caucasian)... you sing songs together in worship of our God (which no one outside the family is allowed to hear due to my practially tone death performance)... and the home is peaceful!

Sometimes stressed:
Then there are the other days. There are the days when I feel like a complete failure as a mother. You know these moments too... you look around and the house looks like a troop of baboons did a happy dance after consuming spiked bananas!! The chairs are in the living room with sheets as a tent cover...there is underwear on the floor (among other items) which happened to not make it to the hamper...cheerios line the counter, soggy as they wait for their transformation into concrete...the clothes that you JUST WASHED seemed to have crawled back into the laundry room and are eager for a cleaning...the intolerable racket echoing from the blue room down the hallway resembles an afternoon at the Daytona 500...



Joyful always:
God uses both days and all moments to sanctify his children. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
