The Alarm

                       goes off at 4:50 in the AM!
Kids are up by 6.
The kitchen needs cleaning, laundry has piled up, breakfast needs to be made, toys need to be put away. 
I swear I did all that yesterday.
Break up a fight while trying to find Jackson's other shoe.
Bribe with chocolate to get shopping done.
Running late to meet the bus.
The kitchen needs cleaning, laundry has piled up, lunch needs to be made, toys need to be put away.
Savor the all too short nap time.
Run more errands
Bribe with ice cream.
The kitchen needs cleaning, laundry has piled up, dinner needs to be made, toys need to be put away.
Hunt down snow boots.
Bath time.
Bed time.
The kitchen needs cleaning, laundry has piled up, toys need to be put away.

The days run together and admittedly a lot of them are the same.  I am guilty of complaining about the monotony. Yet, at the end of the day, as I say my prayers, I couldn't be more grateful for what I have, for where I am in life.



So would I change things?  Nope.  Good and bad.  And it is mostly good. Especially with his help.

Even though we tend to get bogged down in the day to day it's good to reflect and realize how great you really have it. Life is good. :)

Yes the monotony can get you, but then I have to remember that they will be old soon and I will be sad! Your family is so adorable:)
