It is rare in a day that I feel like I get something accomplished other than keeping diapers clean, belly's full, and hearts full of love. So, when I have a day like this one, I feel like I am batting a thousand. This morning I was able to exercise, shower, iron all of Brian's clothes (a pervasive theme in my blog just because I dislike doing it so much and am so happy when it is done), sort our closet (winter stuff out and summer stuff in...thanks for the help hubby), and then finally....prepare Brian's favorite meal...stuffed shells. I love feeling like super mom every now and then because there are so many days (most days) that I do not. However, after church last night, I realized that I need to be more content in whatever phase of life I'm in. I need to look past all the toys in the floor, the never ending laundry, all the "I do it" and "It's my's", my tiresome wardrobe, and the unforgiving stains on the carpet....and just realize that I am so fortunate to live the life I live and God has blessed me with so much.
Much love to all of you...my family and friends.

PS...Here are a couple pictures I took of the kids this weekend and one of dinner tonight. The last step is to cover the shells with sauce and another layer of cheese. So yummy.
I love this post. Thanks for bringing me back down to earth. It's so easy to het hung up on all the toys and dirt laying in the floor! We are so blessed and it is so important to appreciate that every day. I am inspired by you today!
ReplyDeletep.s. I would love to have the recipe for the baked shells!!! They look delicious! Andrea
You are so sweet Andrea. I'm glad it helped. I have found myself going back and rereading this post several times myself as a gentle reminder.
ReplyDeletePS...I would love to pass along the recipe to you. They are Brian's absolute favorite.
