Time to Stop and Think!

With all the chaos in my life the past few weeks and running around in the rat race of life, sometimes I forget to stop and think about how wonderful and blessed my life is. I got a chance today after we had playgroup at our house (5 four year old boys, 5 toddlers, and 2 babies.. yes that's 12 kids) to just sit and marvel at my beautiful children. Sounds cheesy, but we all sat on my glider in Aubree's room and watched a cartoon together and just snuggled! Yes, that's right, all three kids sat on my lap and I ate up every single second of it. I love when they just want to sit with me and cuddle! It makes me feel needed! I just sat there and thanked God for sending each one of them to me and for letting me be their mommy! There are days when I want to just dig a whole and hide from them (like yesterday when Grayson threw four tantrums in the waiting room at the dr.), but then I remember that they are still such a gift from God! Life gets so busy sometimes, I should always take the time to Thank the Good Lord for blessing me!
