It has been a long, long, long, long day. And yes, it’s not even 6pm yet. I won’t go into details for the simple fact that my heart just doesn’t need to go there right now. 10 visits to the “Listening Chair”, 7 poopy diapers, 3 soiled outfits, 2 napless boys and I’m just absolutely done for the day.
This is what I needed to read right at this very moment. Thank you Natalee. Christ come, in my absolute exhaustion and frustration with being a mom, and let me simply your daughter in these fleeting evening moments before I crash into bed.

AC-
I am so sorry that you are having one of “those” days. We all know what that means:). Hang in there…and remember that what you are doing is very important. You are changing diapers and feeding small men, who will God willing, grow into BIG men for Him.

hang in there amy!
are you up for a walk/playground trip (if it’s not to muddy)? i could also borrow the double stroller and take brighton out without you.

wish i could be there!! my heart is with you sweetheart. i remember when you and johhny were little, daddy would walk in from the cold and I’d smell the first fresh air all day (when we were in cedar bluff!). You are amazing!!! I am WITH you and hold you up tonight. love you. mom

So many people have told me “to enjoy these days because they go by quickly” but a wise, seasoned mother of 4 added, “they just feel like some of the longest days of your life.” When in doubt, laugh – this too shall pass.
