I heard this song on the radio the other day..I hope you listen to the whole thing, it should start playing once you open our blog. I think the artist is Toby Keith. Lately I've been wishing these days away with all the tantrums and demands, the cleaning up after, and making of the meals... Its hard some days, but looking past all the surface "crap" its good to realize I am doing the best work I can do for my kids. I hope that they will grow to appreciate it someday like I do with my parents. I had no idea before becoming a mother the concious effort it sometimes takes to even smile! I don't know if you are like me but sometimes I forget to smile at my kids, especially when they've "put me in a mood"! So lately that has been a goal of mine just to smile at them more, without being upset about the mood they've put me in or whatever. Having Emily smile back or Easton run the other way giggling is worth it! Every minute is truly worth it! Its hard to not get upset over the growing pile of laundry, the crusty dishes from breakfast, or the toys scattered on every level of the house. I do get upset sometimes and stressed and fuming about it, it truly rubs off on the kids...and the hubby. I want the harmony of peace and happiness in my home so I've got to do better at "letting it slide".. Anyone relate????? I just love my kids and home and hope I'm the type of mom that won't get mad at my kids cause I didn't get the laundry done....

Totally relate! I need to stop and play more with my kids! I do it but not enough! I remember you telling me about this song and I love it! I remember hearing it before, it makes you want to love the here and now... living more in the moment. Thanks for the reminder, we all need it. :) Tanielle
I love that song. It's Trace Adkins. I had it on my blog. It's so true. Thx for the reminder!
