I will be honest and say that days go that I forget or refuse to count my blessings. There are days when the life of a stay at home mom loses its luster. I have had that moment when I am cleaning the bathroom mirror and am shocked with the reflection. When did I get dark circles and when did I start wearing work- out clothes without the intention of working out? My showers are short, my hair is a mess, but I have so much to be grateful for. There are simple everyday blessings that I witness and this is where I will count them.

• It makes me laugh when I catch Dylan doing something he is not supposed to. I don’t laugh because I don’t want him to get the wrong idea, but it’s hard. Today once again he got into the tooth paste. He had toothpaste all over his lips. He likes to screw the cap on and off. When I caught him he threw the cap and tube of paste and took off as fast as he could.
• For the last three nights we have been letting Noel cry it out. The last three nights have been so wonderful. She has slept at least 7 hours straight each night! Sleep makes me a better Mommy.
• Today I put all the kids down for a nap and ordered Pizza. I watched Oprah and ate pizza and it felt so good! I know its cliché, but I love Oprah. She always asks the questions I would ask.
Isn't it amazing that we are so blessed but don't even know it....How does that happen? I am sad for all the years I thought life was "so hard" and now that it really is truly hard at times I feel so grateful for all that I do have!! I am lovin this blog!!
