I finally stopped

This morning as the breakfast dishes sat on the counter crusting away and one child was crying because she did NOT want to take a bath, and two boys were tying blankets and belts to dresser drawers to make a tent and one baby was crying and I had not even begun to get ready for the day I finally did it.

I stopped.  I looked around.  I looked past the messy house and the piled up laundry and the enormous sized clothing I just bought so as to squeeze my ridiculously oversized post partum body into something other than sweats and my husbands t-shirts…

and I saw the most adorable kids on the planet!  And then I thanked my Heavenly Father for sending them to me.

Oh Sarah, thank you so much for writing out loud my life, and helping me to not feel so bad for feeling that way too!

Why in the world are you up at 12:39 a.m.....please tell me you were doing a feeding for Blythe. Then I say to Stacie...why in the world are you up at 1:39 a.m. commenting...unless you too are feeding Finn. Either way...I would not be blogging at midnight or 1:39 in the morning. You two are CRAZY!!! Love ya!

One last thing...love the color on the pictures. The bathrobes just jump out. I really need to take you up on your offer to show me some tips on my camera.

Oh, that makes me misty-eyed. Well said missy mommy. And I'm serious about you coming and letting me take Blythe for a night or two so you can sleep. Bring the whole crew!
