The Good and The Bad





So, we all have bad days, right? Today happened to be one for me. I woke up at 2am and couldn't fall back asleep, so that is what kick started my wonderful day. I got the kids to the babysitter and fell on the ice while holding Bryce (everyone is ok), I just seemed to be a little OFF all day long. Then came asthma trouble. After work I picked the kids up and they were so CRANKY!! I wanted to go home and cuddle and play, but they were more interested in crying and whining. Mainly because they don't sleep well away from home. However, now that they are in bed and I am reflecting on the events of our day, I can only focus on the wonderful things that happened.

Nothing beats the feeling of walking in the room and seeing your kids faces light up simply because they are HAPPY to see you. Their hugs, kisses, and smiling little faces just make all of the "bad" of the day melt away. Also, a friend at work found out after so many years of unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant that they are adopting twin baby girls any day now. Sometimes it is so easy to let the little things get you down, but when looking at the big picture it is insignificant. My "bad day" wasn't really that bad, but it is easy to stroll down that path once you start on it. Now my little boys are tucked in and we can start all over tomorrow!!
These are just a few pictures from this past weekend.
