Today.

today i woke up too early.

i said my morning prayers in the bathroom. it was the only place they couldn't find me.

i cleaned up spilled milk. twice.

i did 8 loads of laundry and somehow managed to get it all put away. that NEVER happens.

i put diaper cream on one very sore bum.

i listened to two 3 year old boys playing together. they called each other bud.

i picked my battles.

i washed paint off a 2 year olds hands, clothes, and face.

i read with my 6 year old.

i cleaned marker off a cabbage patch doll.

i consoled a sad little boy. more than once.

i played hide and seek.

i heard "I Love You, Mom" more times than I can count on two hands.

today i'm thankful to be Mom.
