Some days I really want to quit my job. Some days I really just want to run away. Some days I really feel like we DO live in a barn.
Then there are those days where I laugh and laugh. Like Sunday, when there was a lull in Fast and Testimony Meeting and Adrienne told me everyone was waiting for her to go up and sing for them (her own composition, of course). Or how she went a got a picture book to read while we did family scripture reading. She demanded a turn and we got to hear an interpretation of scriptures by a four year old. It consisted of lots of "Jesus"s and "Behold"s and "Yea"s.
There are those days where I wonder how I got such thoughtful kids. Like when the tooth fairy forgot to come and Nathan left Kade a dollar.
The days when the pride is bursting, like when I go to parent teacher conference and hear about how smart, helpful, and exceptionally kind my kids are.
It somehow makes it easier to get through the hard days when I remember the laughter and wonder and satisfaction that maybe I do some things right once in a while.
They sure make things interesting.
And, I think I fixed the You Tube video below so that it can be viewed by everyone now. Still figuring things out, sorry.

It's great being a mom, except most the time it's a smothered by the screams, the poop,the fighting, the chores, the driving, the washing, the reminding, the spanking, etc. But God is merciful and encourages kids to say and do cute things everso often, just so we don't go completely crazy. And at those moments, I thank God, and smile. :>
