What a blessing that I get to be home with my girls! I feel so lucky and cherish everyone moment, but some days are just hard. Today being one of them. It seems that no matter how hard I try someone will be crying at all times and at no fault to anyone, just one of THOSE days for all of us. As nap time approaches and I am nearly pulling my hair out, Mya picks 'Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?' by Dr Seuss. Four sentences into the book, it says,
"When you think things are bad,
when you feel sour and blue,
when you start to get mad...
you should do what I do!
Just tell yourself, Duckie,
you're really quite lucky!
Some people are much more...
oh, ever so much more...
oh, muchly much-much more
unlucky than you!"
Thank you Dr Seuss for reminding me that its ok to have a bad day, but to remember how lucky I am for all that I have!

We all have them - no matter how great your kids are!
A phrase a friend told me that I often remind myself is "if they (your kid) are acting their age (3) then I should act mine!" Hard but true!
"like"
Dr. Seuss has answers for everything.
