all in a day

kids bicker
baby crying
noses running
dirty clothes spilling over a basket
loud t.v.
ipod is blaring for the kid in the shower
food is starting to burn
screen is left open
flies starting to get in
a spill proof cup spills all over the dinner table
not sure if washer is working
dryer is buzzing
a riot is breaking out over control over the remote
drama in the girl department
boy is still playing like he DOESN'T have a broken arm
kids coughing
kids wanting to go in the sprinklers despite the coughing
whiny kids
"I was here first" kids
smack talking kids
headache still won't go away
can't find a sharpened pencil in the entire house
realizing a sharpened pencil would be a weapon
seeing the blessing in not having sharpened pencils in the house
kids that act like it was an accident
dinner didn't defrost all the way
everyone is aggravating someone else
no one hangs their shower towel up
can't get the cordless phone to work
when the phone rings I gotta stand in one spot (so difficult)
spill proof cup leaked again
hangers and socks all across the hallway
computer running slow
didnt get to sweep or mop today

all these things throughout the day I can find a blessing in. Because when all this stuff is going on something reminds me be thankful, grateful and to not take these things for granted. I sit at my computer and type this as my toddler climbs on the back of my chair, accidently pulls my hair and reaches around to sneak a kiss from me.

I am so blessed this is my life.
