All I can say is that I know THAT day. In fact I know THAT month. But on the days when it does work - or sometimes just the few minutes - it's worth taking a mental photograph and framing it.

SO MUCH. How often I catch myself yelling instead of understanding. I think that's why God makes kids very forgetful about their early childhoods. THANK GOODNESS. I can relate so much. SO MUCH.

My children are older than yours - but mostly the experiences are the same. Over a measuring cup of chocolate ganache not brownies. . . . But same reaction. Keeping you in my prayers, would appreciate yours. Unreal that you would post this the day after I had a blow up as well. My children are older than yours – but mostly the experiences are the same.

Mostly because I'm hormonal right now (that's what I'm telling myself anyway), but really because I know that day. I don't want to say any more to sully up your post or its significance. I know that day. I also know that nobody knows me like God does and he gave me these babies because there was something I could give them that nobody else could. I don't know what that is. I wish I did. For now, this has to be enough. I am sitting here with tears on my eyes when I should be getting ready for singing in church.
