Today was a day in which nothing went right.
My toddler was grumpy, the kids napped at opposite times giving me minimal down time. For some reason my son felt like ALL the toys needed to be out and in the middle of the living room at the same time. We had appointments to get to, cancelations, planning and re-planning all with crying children and a weary mommy.
Today was a day that I wanted to curl up under a blanket and just be still for awhile, but with a 2 year old and a baby underfoot such calmness is impossible during the day.
Fed up. Exhausted. Wanting to cry and quit, just for today. In despereate need of a mommy vacation. This was my day.
Instead of rest, I got more tantrums and a baby who broke out in a fever just before she was supposed to go in for her “well” check up at the dr. Another cancelled plan. Another stress for mommy…
I’m sharing this post on The Better Mom today. Hop over to her site to read the rest of this post and find out how I saw God’s grace through this awful day! Can’t wait to see you there!

I popped over to read the rest, and I must tell you it got me teary eyed! I so feel you on these (as I am sure many moms do)! Goodness… But I’m with you, at the end of the day I wouldnt trade it for the world! Usually at the end of a day after Ive put the kids to bed, I sit there and just think of how grumpy I had been, and how frustrated I got by all the little incidents that happened throughout the day, and serious hit palm to face. And think goodness what is my problem, my babies are so so precious to me, and a huge blessing. I think about how much I love them. And how happy I am that even though the house can be a complete circus some days, we are way beyond blessed in everything we have. And I just have to thank God. And also ask for forgiveness and strength for a better tomorrow!
Anyways, great post. ♥

On those days grace is a life saver. It can be hard when your in it, but all things pass. When you’re out of it, then it’s funny to look back on.
