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.

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.

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.

I am Amy Smith

Amy Smith and Family including Matthew, Brighton, and Levi

I’m a mother of two, wife to Matthew, daughter of the King, and fervent believer in the healing power of bluegrass music.

I now live in the great city of Greenville, SC, leaving behind Philadelphia, the city where Matthew and I fell in love and saw our two boys come in to the world.

Our recent move from north to south has begun the next chapter in the life of the Smith clan, possibly the most trying and difficult as of yet…learning to become true southerners.
