Today was a day that simply washed over and past me. The craziness of life as a mom of two preschoolers did me in. There was arguing, whining, disobeying, spanking, making of disastrous messes, and far too often saying, "I'm going to lose my mind."
But as I sit now in the relative quiet, thinking back over the day, I find that there were some light moments too. A healthy, tasty lunch was made and placed on the table before the kids got too hungry. A simple cutting-out project for Grace's preschool class got completed. Miles offered an unprompted, heartfelt, "Thanks, Mom, for washing my construction ape jammies." I had a brief moment of clarity to think about and pray for a friend who's facing some uncertain health issues. Both kids are freshly bathed, cozy in their beds. And there was an all-too-short half-hour snooze on the couch this afternoon to try to recharge.
I'm thankful that even a completely insane day can have some sweetness mixed in too.
