Blessed

My family has been so busy the last couple of months. I forget to slow down and really take in the moments with my kids. I am constantly struggling to find a balance in my life as a stay at home mom. Some days I feel like the laundry is piling up around my ears and toys are going to bury me alive.

I had a swift kick in the butt last month. I was feeling overwhelmed and unappreciated than my 12 month old son was suddenly hospitalized for failing to gain weight in the last 4 months. I was so frustrated and scared. How could I not have noticed?

I am so thankful that he is happy and healthy. I suddenly have a new appreciation for the chaos of my household. It feel so good to have screaming kids and piles of laundry to do. I am blessed beyond measure.
