It's the little things...

Lately I have been feeling more overwhelmed than I ever have in my entire life. All things considered I feel like I've been handling it all pretty well. I haven't flushed my kids down the toilet...yet...and most of my hair on my head is still intact. Every day I feel like I'm barely afloat in life. I know this will pass and things will undoubtedly get better but sometimes I get so wrapped up in all the crazy of my life that I don't take time to sit back and appreciate all of the wonderful things I have going on.

Today I started feeling a little frustrated. I had just finished cleaning the living room floor when John threw everything from his lunch that he didn't want to eat all over the floor, Joshua was screaming wanting to be held, I had to fight John to get him to take a nap, the house is a disaster, and I felt starving with no time to eat! I picked up Joshua and sat down to nurse him while I checked my e-mail and opened this...

"Hi Cutie,

I was just double checking some stuff and was looking at my website and pictures of you and Johnny and I just thought how cute you two are and how much I love you. You are my favorite and I'm so happy to be married to you. I love you.

-Daniel"

WOW! I seriously have the best husband in the whole wide world!! What screaming kids? What messy house? What gigantic "to do list" that never seems to get done? None of that matters. Today is a really good day. I have an amazing husband who loves me so much, two adorable children who make me the happiest mommy in the world, and I have some delicious chocolate chip cookie dough in the fridge just waiting to be baked.

Life can't get much better than this!
