It's only 11 AM and already I need a cookie...yes, we're having one of those days in my house. My son keeps finding something to whine about and my daughter had a breakdown just because I asked her to say "Thursday, January 28th". We worked through the breakdown and were able to happily get through school without further incident. However, my son decided to cause a bit of trouble, including but not limited to: chewing on erasers (again), playing with ticky-tack, color his face and feet with markers, whining about food, whining about whining and making a massive mess in the playroom.
They are minor bumps, yes, but at times they are enough to send my blood pressure soaring. So I take a deep breath, brew some chai tea and count my blessings knowing that I have it pretty good. I remind myself that things could be worse and that I could be living in a make-shift tent in Haiti - suddenly, my worries do not seem all to significant. After a quick reality check, life is a little less chaotic and the children more pleasant. Here's to life with kids and the grand adventure called 'Motherhood'!

Great perspective, Leslie. And we're also blessed to even have these sweet children at all. God is good!
