Life has a way of sneaking up on me with these little moments reminding me of what is most important in life. I often need to be reminded of this, and my children are the best reminders. Yesterday, I came home from work to find my house in absolute chaos. The kid's rooms were destroyed and you could not see the floor. I tend to get cranky about this sort of thing, I dont like messes. I was about to go on my usual rant and start my lecture, but something changed. I just watched as all of them laughed and played together, all four of them. They were working together, I was amazed.
My husband made us dinner, it was really good. The kids really liked it, which is a huge plus in my book. He did laundry, homework, and even unloaded the dishwasher. Most days, I take him for granted. I am a very lucky woman to have him. Later last night, I was cleaning out my closet and trying to find something to wear to work. I had piles of clothes on the bed to be given away. The kids all came into the bedroom and I gave them a few things to use for dress up. They thought it was the coolest thing getting to wear my old clothes. I tried on a dress I had hidden in the back of my closet, and the kids all gave their approval. It was getting close to bed time, but I decided to be a little silly with them. We had a mini fashion show, and each of us had to show our runway walks. I think Blake and I were the funniest. I laughed, they laughed. It was one of those moments I will remember for the rest of my life, Im sure they will too. Sometimes I just need to be reminded to let loose and have fun, be silly with your kids. Laugh as much as you can. Dont take life so seriously. Thank you God for giving me four little blessings, a great husband (most of the time), and teaching me something about life every single day. Also, for reminding me of the important things in life.
