Sometimes, its just great.

Today I was chatting with a few of my friends over lunch about how many kids we all wanted and how, oddly enough (wink wink), the numbers before and after having any were drastically different.

"I wanted ten. . .now I'm thinking more like five" one said.

I followed it up with,
"Yea, Ry and I are thinking four. But, somedays. . . just one."

Today was one of the latter. Reese is getting a cold and the incessant whining coupled with mood swings more suited to a thirteen-year-old have been wearing me down to a somewhat pathetic frazzle.

But, inevitably, on one of these sorts of days, she'll do something really cute that makes me forget all previous infractions. Example?
'Helping' me unload the dishwasher, sneezing all over the just-washed silverware, then looking up at me with this oblivious smile that says, "I just love helping you Mom."

Maybe a few more isn't such a bad idea, especially if they're as cute as this one.

Lol Molly. I love it. Some days I only want one too ;) too late for that. Kids are fun, but they are crazy sometimes too. She is so adorable by the way!

The blessing is they come ONE at a time,and before you know it your home is filled with some challenges, but mostly fun and laughter and a whole lot of learning and loving each other!!! I am just grateful I'm not the lady who just had EIGHT all at once!!!! EEK! Plus, Megan is right, one look at that face and many more are more than doable:)
