Jesse has a CTR Ring that he says he's going to wear until Jesus comes. And he really has been wearing it for a month straight. Who has that kind of commitment? Not me, I ate 10 chocolate chip cookies tonight.
These are real people. My real people. Jesse just told me when he grows up he wants to be a dentist and fix teeth. Last week he wanted to be Superman, because then Superman would be real ('cause yes, I told him Superman isn't real.) But these kids are going to be real people. Dentist type real people. Did I say real?
This is a lot of pressure.
Today I did one thing right. Around 1 o'clock when I wanted to take a nap or clean my house, I took the kids for a walk. (I didn't even care that Breanna's pants were on backwards). I figure if I do one thing right a day I'm not doing so bad right? Oh and I took Breanna to ballet and made soup for dinner. Three things!!
What did you do right today? Ask yourself, it's sure to make you feel better :)
I love your blog. Some of the posts are heartbreakingly poignant, like this moment when you realize you are raising people, and the responsibility is so great, and the joys are equal to the responsibilities. I don't think there is a greater compliment than to have your daughter say, "I am going to grow up to be a Sarah." Thank you for sharing these beautiful insights into a real family.
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for the reminder to remind myself that I'm doing a few things right. Needed that today! :o)
ReplyDeleteSarah your children are so precious! I hope my future children are as beautiful and sweet and magical as yours. And I always love your blog posts!
