I didn't mean for more than a month to pass by between posts. Every day something wacky goes on around here, however I just don't get to posting it. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen asleep before 9 pm while laying on the couch with the ipad on my lap in the past couple of weeks. Training for a marathon is pooping me out.
Forget the fact that I have wild children who are up for nearly 11 hours of my day...
I really don't have anything funny to post, although I do feel like I'm laughing my ass off (or crying) at my kids nearly every minute of every day. This weekend proved the normal Easter sugar-candy high; while trying to get the boys dressed after bath, Landon disappeared and he was evidently climbing on the cupboard and digging into his Easter basket. He ran out to the living room buck naked and chomping on a chocolate bunny.
While at church today, the Pastor was saying the final blessing and when she ended with "Amen", Bronson yelled as loudly as he could without officially screaming, "All Done!" which caused a little chuckle from the entire congregation. (Sheepish Grin; it was kinda cute).
On a more heavy note, I have been regularly following 3 Caring Bridge websites from people in my area, in which two are of young boys ages 11 and 12 both battling for their lives while fighting complications from leukemia and it's treatments. The third is of a man who was badly injured in a motorcycle accident that took the life of his wife; they have 2 young boys at home. Reading these daily updates has caused me to grip so hard on my reality of having my whole family intact and currently healthy. I try so hard to remember how things can change in the blink of an eye and try to keep everything into perspective.
Yes, my days can get long....and I can find myself cleaning up the same mess and the same greasy fingerprints over and over again each day. I may find myself repeating the same life lessons, saying "No, no" and "What do you say?" (meaning Thank You and Please) over and over. But do you know how very lucky I am? I have the best opportunity. I'm raising little humans. I'm teaching them more than how to use the potty, and their manners, and how to clean up after themselves. I have the opportunity to teach them to love Jesus, and be good people.
This is a wonderful thing, and I am grateful for every day.
