"take a picture of my worm, mom!" instead i got a CLEAR picture of those amazing little lines that God made in the palm of his hand...and that pudginess that won't last many more years (months?!)
i am feeling less balanced and more frenzied. the youngest got stitches in his head this morning. i didn't take a shower til 2 pm...and debated just changing straight from my stinky workout clothes into my pj's. i mean, i'm usually in them by 7 pm anyways! {i didn't.}
i had no time to sit and ponder. no time to process.
but it's ok. i chose to listen to their stories this afternoon. and watch them play together. i even participated in the long jump competition {i lost}. i also looked through 2 catalogs on the front porch and fed them no fruits or veggies for dinner. and am choosing to be with pat and watch his favorite show {Survivor} together instead of going to "parent night" at church for the youth group. it's the right choice for us tonight. and i just don't care if it's "right" or "wrong" in the eyes of others.
today was a bit out of focus. i made the best decision that i could in each moment. right or wrong, i don't know. but i did it and am doing my best not to look back. His peace still flowed underneath it all.

Before I clicked on that last picture to enlarge it (I was seeing what they were using for the long jump), I thought that Rebekah was YOU! I guess that says that she is growing up and that you look really young! :)
