It's in the little things...

I'm not one to complain...
We've ALL been there.

But some days
shape up to be a little more difficult than others.

A few more temper tantrums than you signed up for,
A few too many meals thrown upon the floor,
"NO" seems to be the ONLY word in your vocabulary,
That lingering whine that sounds like a broken record,
the running dart in public places,
refusal to SIT IN THE SHOPPING cart,
that brand new shirt that is now stained of dirt,
Not a moment of peace,
on this particular day.

It's day's like this,
where I bask in the little things that get me thru...

Extra Large Diet Pepsi

New mustard flats

bubble baths


YOU ALL.
 Thank you for your sweet notes day after day.
 You make me smile more than you will ever know!

  4. I can totally relate to this. I also have "Mom guilt" days where I feel like I need to spend more time just sitting with my little guy playing with him and his blocks..

  5. Aww, we all have those day! It's good you can focus on the little things you enjoy. I've been having a particularly hard time these past couple weeks, too.

    How are you liking that book?

The simple joys of a mother...
