a little more love please. . .

As I think about my day I sometimes wish it were a little more simple. I wish the dishes didn't need to be done, or the laundry needed to be folded. Or blow outs that needed scrubbing. . . .Then I think oh how I wish there was not ANOTHER diaper to change or that gallon of milk that just ran out that is making me go to the store. I wish I woke up to a house that was tidy and clean and children that magically were potty trained. But then I remember. . . life isn't supposed to be easy. It is supposed to challenge us and teach us things we never thought possible. Or show us just how strong we are like when all things are coming down and we prove to ourselves the strength we have. I think life is partly about us learning just how wonderful we really are. And then I think if my day were simple and calm I would not appreciate laying my head down on my pillow and having the feeling of success thinking back on all the hard work I put into the day. I think would that moment when miss priss put her hands on my cheeks and said," I uv you mommy" really feel so beautiful if not for the crazy moments and temper tantrums of that particular day? No it wouldn't, and that is why life is so special and wonderful. We get to experience the ups and downs. Gaining strength from the downs and cherishing the ups.

Thank you miss priss for putting your attitude aside and showing mommy your little sweet heart last night. I uv you too.
