Today was not a bad day, but it felt very full. Lots of kids in lots of different places, going in lots of different directions. I did have some time to sit, but also I ran quite a bit. I keep trying to list all of the things we did, but it instantly gives me anxiety 😅 So I’m going to stop.
What I can say is that before long, I will be tucked away in my room with my husband, watching a show and snacking. Even though Nathan Pyle says its wrong.
I’m still short one kid, but the others are all home, and most are tucked away. One went to bed early, still reeling from last nights sleepover at her friends house. One went down at a normal time. The three little ones are quiet in their room already. And two are still up and around, winding down with a book.
Our life is so full and so precious. It is not easy or gentle. But we were not promised those things.
Thank you, Lord, for family and friends who show up for us, for a yummy supper, and matching jammies on little bodies.
