How Is It Going

This morning in the clinic I had an older gentleman ask me if I had enough help. This said since I had all three kids, two in the double stroller and Ellaree walking beside me. I told him I loved all the help, smiled and went on my merry way. It got me thinking "does everyone think my hands are too full?" This has been the common comment since I have had Lil Harry.

Well since Lil Harry has come along there are days that are challenging more then other days. I will not lie to you about that. There are days that we laugh, days I want to pull my hair out and scream, days I cry, days I pray every minute of the day and days we are just crazy and have fun. But really what is all that different then if I had one child or I had ten. I am a mom, I have feelings and emotions and I don't think I would be characterized as any different then any other mom. If God didn't think I could handle this challenge he would not have let me get pregnant right away with Lil Harry. I believe God lets everything happen for a reason. I believe right now he is challenging me with patience. I think I have good patience but there are days that I need extra patience. God is teaching me to let the little things go, go with the flow and just play and love my children. I thought I had it all together and was easy going but with each child I am learning to be more at ease and let life be lived and who cares about a clean toilet.

We are happy, we are all loved by each other and most importantly by God. We have each other and that is all that matters. So when you ask me How is it going and I reply "all is well in the crazy house". Well it is just that simple. Some days it is insane but it in a good and happy insane. I would not trade my life for anything. God has given me everything I could ever need or want.
