A SAHM's response to her husband's question, "How was your day?"
"Today has been a lifetime. There were moments when my heart was so full, I thought I might explode, and there were other moments when my senses were under such intense assault that I was certain I'd explode. I was both lonely and desperate to be alone. I was simultaneously bored out of my skull and overwhelmed with so much to do. Today was too much and not enough. It was loud and silent. It was brutal and beautiful. I was at my very best today and then, just a moment later, at my very worst. Husband, when your day is totally dependent on the moods and needs and schedules of tiny, messy, beautiful rug rats, your day is all of these things and none of these things, sometimes within the same three-minute period. But this is not a complaint. Don't try to fix it. I wouldn't have my day any other way."-Glennon Melton
Such true words for ALL moms. There is so much richness to my days. Always joy to be found, both in the happy and hard moments.
Here are some glimpses from our past few weeks:
