This is my reminder today! Whenever i'm struggling, I find pictures like this & put them on my mental cork board! Mommy Carly is sick today & could use a good nap or 7. There is NOOO WAY these boys are going to calm it down for me to get one minute to relax! I've been putting off folding laundry for days (which i feel extremely guilty about so i had to hide it in my closet & closed the door) I've been working my buns off while Kevin's been traveling to keep these kids happy & entertained so tonight, I crash. Kevin's flight is landing as we speak & and the second he walks in that door he's on daddy duty. This also makes me feel guilty because who wants to travel all day then come home to 2 maniacs (maybe 3 if you count me) but he offered so I'm taking him up on that!
Right now, As the kiddies take their afternoon naps, I will reflect on what I should be grateful for. Firstly, I think it's self explanatory but as hard as these munchkins are, they are the loves of my life. Not a day goes by that I don't thank my lucky stars for the joy they bring me. Their smiles are my sunshine.
Secondly, I am grateful for having a big beautiful house, heat, food, clothes, blankets, & plenty of love to go around. Up here in Michigan, we're working on inch number 7 of snow for the day so all of the said things are very important! Next, I am very thankful for my husband, although he's not here, HE'S COMING! and we've missed him. He works so hard to provide for us so I can sit here & blog about my non important thoughts ;) He loves his boys & his boys love him. Lastly, I am so grateful for all of my friends & family back in cincinnati who we miss so dearly. They are the center of our world & it is so difficult to be so far away from them! Everyday we miss the visits & play time we used to be able to spend whenever we felt like it. We will be reunited again!
I am so very blessed to have so many things in my life that make it so complete!
StayLovely.
