Beautiful beautiful beautiful Baby Boys

Ok, I cannot or will not lie about today.  There is no sugar coating here.  Was not a good day for me.  I am not sure anything was different…I just couldn’t handle the noise or the schedule today.  It was me. 

BUT

I have 3 beautiful boys.  Each one of them gave me a tender moment.  That is what I want to hold onto for today.

ELI- we went to wal-mart today.  We HAD to get chocolate milk.  He wanted down.  It is just us, well baby Sam too, but he doesn’t move on me much.  So, I let him down to wander while I follow.  Usually, we go to toys.  But, today (I should mention here, it is a new big wal-mart for us) he went to side section where they keep plants and gardening stuff on the side.  Today, they had Christmas trees and decorations.  Eli, went right to the trees with a big smile on his face, “Look it, ma!,” and started spinning around to the Christmas music that was playing.  What a sweetheart.

SAM- sometimes we get to talk while I change his diaper.  I goo over him and he wiggles his eyebrows with a smile.  Today, i gooed and he did it right back at me with an amazing smile that said, “Yes, I am amazingly cute, ma!”

JOSH- Nine o’clock and daddy is still not home from a church meeting.  Yes, I am done.  So what do I do?  As usual, cry.  Defeated.  I have my eyes closed sitting on the edge of my bed holding Sam, crying, Josh is wiping my tears with the edge of my blanket and says, “Mommy, your eyes are too wet,” with a sweet smile that says it’s ok.

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL baby boys I love you dearly!

My Superhero!!!

Well, I have to admit it sometimes.  The hubs is good.  I woke up this morning and every dish was done.  Washed and dried on counter.  And I absolutely don’t mind putting them away.  While in the kitchen doing that, a little bird sat on my window to say hello.  That has never happened!  And I thought today was going to be one of those yucky days.  Fooled again!

Thanks Dave, you are a gem, especially when you want to be :)  I love you.

And a little side salad to go with that bonus….finally, the batteries recharged so baby Sam can swing again today.  Yay!  Even though, I did totally enjoy sleeping with all 3 of my boys last night.  What a warm snuggly treat (especially since I forgot to turn on the heat last night).  I love you too, boys!

This is just the start of my day.  So it has to be good, right?

What?!

Ok, ok, ok.  I knew it was bound to happen, but…..

The day went off without a hitch.  So, now that I am trying to be more observant of what is going on during the day, I am always asking is this the moment today?  Is this my blessing?  But, all day today, I asked…”Is anything going wrong today?”  What?!

Yeah, I can hardly believe it.  Easy going day.  The boys were content.  Ate their meals when they needed to.  Eli took a nap.  Sam, oh, he is too easy.  Mommy, even was well-behaved.  This is crazy talk.  I cannot believe it now as I am typing. 

So the one thing today is…..today!  Wow!

Now, I might need to brace myself for tomorrow, but maybe I won’t.  Look, now my optimistic side is coming out, right with the sun.  This is good.  Very good. 

Who knows?  Maybe this has been going on for a while, and I am just now noticing.  Thanks blog.
