{What I'm learning...}



-That a million popcorn seeds lovingly thrown on your thick, new coushy carpet by your four and five year old do not vaccum up properly.
-that some things in life don't get any easier to feel then the past 30 times before 
-that sometimes to much is enough especially in one day.
-that sometimes the best intentions don't mean anything if you don't really do it with all your heart.
-that life doesn't get any easier as you get older, just different trials, there is always the next thing big or small.
-that life is about choices and we pay the consquences of our choices everyday from the moment we get up - to choosing to respond in a way other then we should.

-that sometimes people say ignorant things that you just have to let ROLL off and not let it bother you.
-that being a dependable person is a good quality no matter who it annoys.
-that life lessons usually come back to repeat them themselves, just to see if we learned the first time.
-that some things might be the last time you do it before you realize it will be the last time 
like the last time K2 took his bottle was 2 days ago sippy and formula weird..... switching to homo soon but already a sippy this babe weans himself...... good thing? not such a baby anymore..he knows what he wants that is for sure.
-that even if you tell them a hundred times you'll be telling them a hundred more.
-that you can never hug your kids to much.
-that being an example means more then your words its in the doing and seeing in the everyday that makes all the difference to our kids.
-that lifes greatest blessings are right in front of us, if we actually look beyond what we think they should be, we will see what we already have.
-that kids are kids, but remembering that is the hardest part.
-that we have rain so we appreciate the sun
just like we have trials so we appreciate the blessings we have.
-that prayer works

That each day is a new day with a clean slate.

Great lessons, but some of them are hard ones. I hope you haven't been having a tough time lately.
