Because I am...

Life with 3 young kids is equally rewarding and challenging.  Everyday I pray for patience, energy, and kindness.  Some days I feel like an epic failure.  Some days go smoothly. Some days are pure perfection.  Lately I have gotten into a Mommy slump.  The cleaning is never ending, laundry is piling up, siblings are fighting, and what am I going to make for dinner?  I always think, 'one day my home will be perfect.' Not a good perspective.


My thoughtful Grady said something randomly profound the other night {during a nonsensical conversation with his dad} that brought me back to my real purpose.


Grady: "You are the luckiest Mom in the world!"
Me: "Why is that?"
Grady: "Because me and Lyla and Charlee and Dad love you!"



Yes, Grady. Yes I am.

:) Did you get a chance to go to relief society session? The last talk helped me out with that feeling.

I'm glad Grady could make things a little sweeter.
