Thanks for visiting my blog. It's sort of a running history of the trials and tribulations of raising a busy family. I work full time as a nurse and my husband is at home keeping the rest of our lives in some sort of order. Life is busy, fun and challenging every single day. I hope you enjoy our story!

At least they're cute...




It was one of those days. I was completely exhausted, mentally and physically. Work has been chaotic- we've moved into a completely new space and with that comes a lot of little changes and "issues" that need to be worked out. I have been at work way more than I have been at home lately. If I'm counting- I've only been at home 1 day out of the last 10. My patience was running thin. Sarah was in a mood- defiant, obnoxious, snotty, basically her usual self. Anna and Alex started summer vacation- and it was cold and gloomy- and they were stuck inside. Yuck. All around, kind of a disaster of a day. I went to visit my mom for a little while and she was commenting on what a little stinker Sarah is. Then she followed it with, "Well, at least she is cute." And I thought, yep, you're right. As a matter of fact, they are all cute (of course I'm biased). Doesn't really change the behavior or make me less tired, doesn't fix the fact that Alex is disorganized and basically a slob, Anna is a drama queen with an attitude and Sarah is, well, one of a kind. But, somehow, at the end of the day as I tucked them into bed, I noticed just how darn cute they all are.....
