Days Like Today

You know on those crazy days, when you wonder how you'll get through it?  Something always seems to trigger a reminder of how lucky I am.  I was never supose to have children, I do. I have the sweetest loving and craziest son.  On days like today I look back to the day I found out I was pregnant. Since then literally everything I have done has been for him. I think about whats important. Like the fact that I was able to hold my son minutes after he was born. I was able to take my son home with me from the hospital. Many moms are not able to do that for one reason or another. So on days like today when I am chasing him around like crazy, I am thankful he can walk. On afternoons like today  when I am scrubbing crayon off my tile, I am thankful he has those little working hands to draw with. On these type of days when he screams "ma ma" at the top of his lungs I am thankful he has strong lungs. And even though he doesn't listen when I speak lately I am thankful I know he is able to hear me. So although sometimes its crazy I know I have to count my blessings and think about what is truely important. I have an active, healthy loving child Nothing else matters.

Yes, sometimes it is pretty hard to look at things such as crayon all over your freshly washed kitchen floor and find the good in it. But if it helps to get you through the day....whatever works right?
