Well, I've been pretty overwhelmed with life in general lately! I know that probably every mother has gone through this at one point in time where you just feel like every day is filled with being tugged at, spit up on, and full of yelling at your kids. Well, it seems like my whole week has been this way. I find myself anxiously awaiting Marty's arrival home from work just so I can go to the bathroom by myself! Sometimes I even think to myself, "it will be so nice when my kids go to school just so I can have a break." I can't believe I'm even admitting this! But anyhow, there is a light at the end of this depressing tunnel. I was adding music to my blog last night and found Trace Adkins new song called "You're Gonna Miss This" and I LOVE it! It completely made me realize how fast these babies really do grow up and before you know it, you're out of this stage in life and onto another. We are in this stage for a brief moment! I had to really stop and thank God for giving me such a wake up call and tell me that I should be thankful to even have kids to nag me. Or to have a little 2 year old that's dying to spend time with me so much that she even wants to go to the bathroom with me! I can't even say Marty wants to be with me that badly!!! :) I guess what I'm trying to say is that our children only have a short amount of time when being held by you fixes everything! This morning, for instance, Isaac woke up way earlier than we would've liked. I went in with a bottle and as I rocked him and fed him, he started to drift off to sleep. He even started smiling in his sleep, which is the most precious sight you could ever see. It struck me like lightning that this too shall pass. I added the song to my playlist on the blog, so if you have speakers, turn them on and scroll down to the end of my blog and select the song: "You're Gonna Miss This" by Trace Adkins. Beware: have tissue handy!

I love that song and I was just thinking about that yesterday as I cleaned fingerprints once again from the tv. I am beginning to think they are a permanent accessory to the screen! I know we will miss those moments that right now seem so overwhelming. It is hard sometimes to get out of the "funk" of being irritated in order to actually enjoy getting on the floor and playing duck, duck, goose, but the laughter that fills the home when I do that is so much better than the sound of my annoyed voice. Be encouraged, friend, you are doing a great job!
