I have had a very overwhelming week with a few things that have been going on around our house and I as I got home from work tonight, I saw the house was a wreck, Clint was asleep on the couch and at first I felt a little frustrated. As I walked up the stairs and saw that you couldn't even walk into our toy room with out stepping on a toy, I stopped and realized you know what "OH WELL." It can be cleaned up tomorrow. Maybe Clint had a hard night with the kids and was tired. Maybe he was exhausted and all he wanted to do was sit down when the kids went to sleep and he fell asleep himself. Then I got ready for bed and decided to jump one the computer for a minute before I went to bed. Then I came across this article on a blog called The Marathon Mom. It really made me think tonight about my own life and my kids. It made me so happy to be THEIR mom and to be a wife of an amazing Husband. And as far as the messy toy room, it means they were having fun in there today and using their imaginations. And for the messy kitchen, it means we had food to eat for them and they sat down and ate together and enjoyed each others company.
I LOVE my family more than anything. They make me want to be a better MOM and WIFE. I want to strive to be the best I can for them and set a good example for them.

I love that Marathon Mom post! I sooo needed that right now, so thank you. And way to go looking on the bright side of the mess. Sometimes that's all we can do, and it really is true that all those great big messes are indicative of even greater blessings.
