This last week has been spent with sick kids(and mom) including a wonderful middle of the night wardrobe change last night due to my daughter getting sick down my back. But today, we have a beautiful day. Blue sky, a few white, fluffy clouds, a gentle breeze and fresh air to breathe. We may still all be struggling with a cough and eating chicken noodle soup a few times today, but how can we look past this beauty that God has given us. I think of all the “things” I need to do and God just kind of said nope! Enjoy the day! Enjoy the moment!

When kids are sick its hard. When mommy is sick while kids are sick it’s even harder. Then send Daddy out of town for a few days and you have a lot of television watching, quick not-so-healthy meals and a very on edge Mommy. So today, I have to do “stuff”. But included on that list is some much needed vitamin D, fresh air and time to look around at this wonderful life I have been blessed to live. A moment to cherish my kids and husband and give my dog a little more love than he usually gets(sorry Porter). So for today I’m enjoying my journey and all that are in it with me. From the soiled clothes and snot sucking to the gorgeous weather and love of my family. So today I say thank you Lord for all you have given me.
