Good Night Sweethearts

You know when you have one of those days. You almost have your youngest one to sleep for a nap and then the oldest one comes in yelling how she has to pee. There goes the almost asleep baby. Or you are attempting to fix supper with a 3 year old under your feet and a 7 month old crying b/c he wants held. Plus you got to add the fact of getting ready to start your lovely monthly gift and the PMS is coming on strong. You know those days, I don't care who you are, you have them. You know you just want to go outside and scream for a minute or just take off running and run all of that stress and frustration out. Well, I get those days, but those days are so worth it when I have come to realize one of my favorite things to enjoy at night. Yea, I like the quiet house after the kids are asleep, I like being able to talk "adult" talk with my hubby and I like not having to tell a kid not put that in their mouth or not having to change a diaper. But you know what I really love. I love after the kids are asleep and I go into their rooms and just watch them lay there asleep. Every night I think to myself, I can't believe they are mine. I can't believe these beautiful children are actually mine. They lay there dreaming away, so innocent, so beautiful. I snug them up to their blankies and just smile, for they are mine. I am so incredibly blessed and even tho I may get wrapped up in the daily things, every night I take those moments to appreciate what God has given me, my beautiful babies.
