I will admit it. There are some days when I just can not handle it anymore. Days when I've reached the edge of the cliff and feel like jumping is my only option. When all the "Why Mommy?" questions are too much to take, and the "I don't want too's!" are driving me insane, the temper tantrums, meltdowns, dog food bowl spilled over for the hundreth time, the screaming, yelling, crying, playdates, doctor appointments, dance classes, grocery shopping, laundry, dinner... When all of it seems like it's just too much for me to handle, and the tears are streaming down my face. The days that I feel like I just want to run screaming outta this place, drown my stresses in a cocktail (or two). I somehow can always manage a smile when I think of these beautiful faces..........

Then I remember that this is exactly what I want. That this life, no matter how crazy it gets at times, is where I am supposed to be, where I want to be, where I LOVE to be! That these 3 beautiul faces, are Home to me.

This face is always full of smiles. Whenever I'm at my wits end, I think he can sense it and cracks me one of those gorgeoes dimply smiles that makes me melt, then all the stress just seems to slide away!

Or this beautiful little girl so happy when she is all dressed up in her favorite purple princess dress.

Or watching this little guy crawl after his sister's treasured princess shoes.

and finally completing his mission.

Or having movie night with the family. And watching Daddy help our girl with the popcorn.

Or watching her face light up making her favorite treat... POPCORN!

Painting my girl's cute little "piggies" brings a smile to my face.

All in all, it's a good life. It's a blessed life. There will always be struggles, obstacles, tears to wipe, boo boo's to kiss, and plenty of meltdowns. At the end of the day though, there are far greater moments, and for that- I'm happy to be right were I am... Home!
