It's been a good day....

...well, besides having Parker climb into our bed at 5 am b/c he thought he heard thunder. Oh, then there was the incident with Lillie throwing up in the car all over herself, her carseat, and Parker's book. Of course there was not a tissue or wipe anywhere b/c I had just left the carwash 5 minutes prior. But still, it was a good day. Really. Once we cleaned up the cat poop all over the back step (b/c our cat has big time issues). Um... oh right the eggs... I let Parker help me bring in the groceries and well... let's just say he isn't as gentle and strong as he thought. But truly... it was a good day. There was that teeny tiny incident with the paint. But I take full blame. I wanted to do something fun with the kids. I didn't know they would try to paint themselves and give my kitchen table a new coat while they were at it. Seriously, our day was good. I wish Lillie would keep the watermelon pits out of her nose and Parker would stop laughing hysterically at her when she does it(what legitimate explanation could I possibly give the ER doctor for that?) but all in all it's been a fun filled, adventurous and satisfying day in our house. I can say that now that both kids are sound asleep in their beds, and the Wiggles are not singing and dancing on my TV and I am enjoying a popsicle without little scavengers hovering over me. Our day was good.

Just like you forget the pain of childbirth, you can easily forget the chaos and stresses you experience during the day once the lights are dim and all is quiet. Somehow God allows all the "inconveniences" to be put to rest and rejuventation to take place. Just in time to do it all over again in a few hours!

Thank You God for this moment in life. The one where craziness and quiet collide to make a house a home. The blessings you have bestowed upon me are so great I cannot even begin to thank you but each day I will try. Thank you for good days. Amen.
