Today and this Season of Thankfulness

We had a day around here.
Filled with no naps,
lots of tears (yes, all 3 Moses girls cried)
a 7th tooth budding,
not wanting to eat,
clingy-ness,
"No's!"
spit up
really sticky floors and lots of dirty dishes
No daddy all day kind of day.

Wow. It was one of those days where I thought about waving 
my little white flag to surrender.
I really did. So, to all you mamas 
who blog and seem to have it all together:
I don't believe you. Nope. Especially if you have
more than 1 child. I just don't believe you.

I think its funny how at the close of this beautiful season
of thankfulness, I turned into a
thankful-mess.
The day after the 1 day a year set aside for being thankful
the Lord lent me a day like today.


Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18

So I took a deep breath and was thankful yet again.
I hope that anyone who has read this blog and kept up with 
what I am thankful for has appreciated something small in their 
lives to give thanks for. 
Also, that you have been able to get to know the real me 
just a bit better.

We've had a couple of those days around here too lately! I've considered flushing my son down the toilet a few times this week. It really does help to know other moms go through the same things and keep going, so thanks for sharing! I know I'm not alone.

I've heard hiding behind the clothes in your closet works too.
