Today I had one of “those” days… you know, when you just feel “blah”; nothing seems to go right;

toddler daughter doesn’t nap,
= extremely cranky

8 month old son teething,
= extremely cranky

mom tired and frazzled, with the feeling that she just can’t catch up,
= extremely cranky mom.

But there are ALWAYS things to thank God for;
so I will try to remember back over this past week:

#74. feeling the breeze, listening to the “quiet” together… enjoying one another’s company

#75. Spending the day outside; enjoying the brisk, cool air; the beginnings of Fall

#76. Watching my daughter be the “mechanic” in the family

#77. Taking in this beautiful site of sibling love

#78. Full out belly laughs!

#79. Oh, but they don’t last long…

#81. Enjoying some frosting… even if it has to be lived vicariously through my daughter’s taste buds… oh the joys of dieting!

#82. Tender hugs

See… I feel a lot better now.
