Those Days
Ever have those days when you feel like nothing, not a single thing goes your way. Ever had those days when you feel like you have no energy. No Control. Your mind is tired. Your body is tired. You feet are tired. Your mouth is tired. You feel like you are trying to reason with rocks. Like no ones listens. They care about you. They just don't really listen. Ever have those days when your kids fight all day. Every waking moment. Not because they are mad at each other. Not because they do not get along. But simply because they are kids. Your anxiety level is somewhere between the Moon and Mars. You try to take a shower. Hoping the hot water will wash away the tension. During which you are mid shampoo and abruptly interrupted by doors repeatedly slamming again and again on the adjoining wall. Making huge "banging" sounds that feel as if they will punch a hole through the drywall. The door slamming being done be your sweet, beautiful toddlers, and a your sweet four year old. The same angels that have been fighting, yelling and stealing toys, pulling hair, and swiping sippy cups all morning. Do you ever feel like even when you give everything you have it still may not be enough. Yeah, me too. Then I look at my sleepy-eyed Little Beauties. Ever so quiet. Asleep in their beds. Tiny baby tushies up in the air, knees tucked under their tummies. Softly sucking on their fifis. Skin so fair in the night-lite beam. I watch Chloe snuggled in bed. So peaceful. So beautiful. So innocent. I am reminded of how wonderful each and every single moment is. Makes me ready to tackle another day of chaos tomorrow. I'm ready...are you in too.

Yes, I remember those days, and I only had two. They always do look so precious (and quiet) in their sleep!
