i just have to say this - since it's 8 am and by 9 am i'll probably feel differently.
it is one of the best parts of my day to get to see the 3 sweet (and 1 very handsome!) faces when they wake up each morning. every single day. i mean, how blessed am i??
and the sweet sounds of their voices that are ALWAYS in the background of our day - whether i'm sitting here blogging, or folding laundry, or trying to talk on the phone, etc, etc. By the end of the day, those sounds don't feel so sweet, i have to admit, but right now, they are. and i know one day, i'll wish them back and i'll miss these sounds!
we have a lot to do today - away from the house and in the house. not sure it's all going to get done. but i "slept in" and didn't run hoping it would give me extra energy (and patience...which i'm lacking lately with these little ones.)
off to do The Firm and then we'll start checking things off! it's cold and brisk outside - i love it!
oh, and pat is still in quite a lot of pain with his shoulder. he isn't sleeping well, i hate it for him. he's such a trooper. but it really stinks.

Good day to you dear ones.....what a precious picture you gave of a mom....and it IS so true...the sweet sound of children....that isn't ALWAYS there. You are smart to appreciate it now. You ARE in precious, precious days.
Oh how we are praying for Pat. We are so sorry he is still in such pain.
Pray for Mrs. Sweet.....as we write....and that family....also the Woods as new cancer was found.
Dear Lord, we thank YOU for walking through these days on earth with us....giving us YOUR stength and guidance. Amen and Amen.
I love you, Mom
You're right on the sweetness - maybe not being so sweet later in the day, so good for you for capturing it at the moment!! It's all about how you look at it!
