Today was one of those days, the roll-coaster of emotions was huge ... I was mean to my husband, I was mad at myself, I was mad at the world and then I took time to hold my babies, after we ate I didn't clean up the dishes, instead I just went and played with my kids and that was so therapeutic. "Captain America" came to save me and sister, his wonderful sword was magic and he was able to cut chains, kill bad guys and make it all better for us and boy he did!!!!! Before I knew it I was relaxed, I took the time to lay on the couch and we enjoyed Tom & Jerry, we snuggle together in his bed after we said our prayers, I told him his two favorite stories - Jack & the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding-hood - amazingly I got my kitchen clean up in no time, I had no interruptions, no "Moooooooooommy come see this!!!" "MOMMY ... I'm ready! Wipe me!!" "Mooooommy can you please come and play with me??" etc ... I was relaxed, I was happy and I am so thankful for my children!! (I need to do this more often)
The same children that add stress to a marriage, the same children that sometimes don't let us take one step without holding on to our legs, the same children that we dream of having and that some days we wish they were grown and then one day when they are grown we wish we could make little again ... the same children we can't imagine our lives without.
Tonight I treasure the times I had with them ...
