WWARNING! Blogging while emotional is dangerous. Yes, it's been one of those days. I'm operating on very little sleep. The babies were very needy today, and I didn't have a minute to myself. My to-do list got longer. My feelings got hurt. My kids feelings got hurt. I got mad. Dinner sucked. I'm hungry. {and hormonal} I still have a boulder hanging out in my left kidney. I need time with Cole. I need time with Jacob. I need a date with my husband. {I NEED to shave my legs}

2 years...and counting!

Wow. The last 2 years have gone by so fast. I can hardly believe it's been that long since I have worked outside the home.

It truly feels like just yesterday I was running out the door, late to yet another meeting. I went from savoring my drive-thru lattes to downing a cup of folgers before the bus arrives. I gave up my leisurely hour long lunch, for munching the crusts of my toddlers PB&J.

Days like today make me feel overwhelmed with gratitude that I can be home with my boys everyday. Today was one of those awesome, snugly, wonderful days where all was right within our home.

Of course everyday isn't like this. More often than not we have messes everywhere, kids fighting and an exhausted, stressed out Mama that has no opportunity to refuel for at least 4 more days. But, even in those moments I'm reminded that THIS is where God has called me to be, for this time in my life. This is where He had been gently nudging me to go for so long. (and for those of you who don't know the story, I didn't listen so well, so God gave me a good, hard shove finally! ha!)

I have no idea what the next year will hold for our family, but I'm so excited to see where God leads us :)
