Reality....

I just want to take a minute to share the reality of my life.

I love my daughters! Some days they drive me totally crazy

and I realize that I spend a lot of time complaining about

how hard it is to be a stay at home mom. But I would NEVER

for the world give up the chance that I have to see my daughters

every development and every change that takes place. I am

constantly reminded of how amazing my kids are. For every

time I say "you're driving me crazy!" I hear 3 "I love you mommy"

every time I see Lila run to me or say a new word my whole world

stops. Penny was up super late tonight and I could hardly bare

to put her to bed because tomorrow she will be a day older. In fact

I can hear her sneaking around outside my room right now and I

am just going to let her.

My grandpa Hanchett is very sick and in the hospital. I'm not sure if

he is going to make it through the next few weeks. It has just made me

realize once again how precious time with my family is.

I need to love more and worry about myself less. I need to put

others first and if that means that on occasion I let my 3 year

old stay up until 11:30 pm then so be it. These are the moments

that we should live for. I love my family and my life! That's all there

is to it and I hold nothing dearer except the Gospel of Christ which

without I wouldn't have the wonderful family that I do. That's all

there is to say about it.
