It's a Good Thing that it is Friday...

Good grief but we are tired. The kind of total body fatigue that creeps in and takes up residence while you least expect it. It's the kind of fatigue that a Venti Vanilla Soy Latté can't fix (I know this because I've tried-often). I woke up looking around the house and feeling a bit overwhelmed: Liam peed the bed last night for the third night in a row, the house is a mess, laundry needs to be done and folded, my flowers need watered, lawn mowed and we still have boxes yet to be unpacked loitering in the bedroom. Our living room is still a temporary holding cell for some boxes and office furniture (and everything else we carry in and tend to drop there when we get home from work) until we get our basement finished. It's enough to make me want to curl up in a ball and rock in a corner. But then I remember that in the grand schemes of things these aren't big deals: I have beautiful, healthy children (FYI: Sawyer's Kidney ultrsound came back officially clear this week!! HOORAY! No more hydronephrosis!), a loving hard-working husband and a home over our heads and good jobs. What do I have to complain about? NOTHING! So I won't. Instead of fretting about the state of chaos that is our home/work/life I am going to embrace it for all of its wonderful colorfulness and be thankful for what I have as well as for what I don't have. Play More, Worry Less. The chaos will always be there and our children grow up before we know it.
