Someday I will miss this!
Someday I will miss the chaos.
Someday I will miss rushing out the door in my pjs with my hair only 1/2 brushed in order to get the kids to school on time.
Someday I will miss the arguing over which song we need to listen to on the way to school and quickly swapping from Blake Shelton to Lil Jon in order to keep everyone happy.
Someday I will miss the fact that my “Harry Houdini” baby can somehow get his diaper off on the way home from dropping his brothers off. (Yes, he was buckled in correctly) the child seriously has some magical powers, I swear!
Someday I will miss the fact that my 5 year old is not happy with me because the bottle of body spray I picked up and used on him that morning didn’t match the color of his shirt. That’s right, the body spray bottle didn’t match his shirt.
With four little boys it is chaos, I live in chaos daily but I am beyond grateful for the beautiful chaos that God has so graciously blessed me with.
So yes, someday I will miss all of this, I know I will but…. Today I will live it and be thankful for it.
My heart, my thoughts, and my prayers are with those affected by yet another tragic and heartbreaking school shooting.
Yesterday 3 nine year old children woke up for the last time on this side of Heaven. That’s three sets of parents who woke up to their normal (probably hectic) morning routine. I’m sure they fed their kids breakfast, helped them brush their hair, made sure they brushed their teeth and checked their backpacks to make sure they had everything they needed for the day never knowing that would be the last morning they would ever have a morning routine with their precious children.
Never again will they get to cook them breakfast, never again hunt for a missing shoe last minute, never get to hold their babies, never again get to hug their babies, never again will they get to hear their children’s voices.
I am sad, mad, and heartbroken for those parents. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with the families, the friends and the entire community of those who were affected.
In memory of those lost yesterday, I will take the time to step back and enjoy my chaos, love my chaos and appreciate my chaos.
Someday I will miss it all, I just pray that someday is a very long way away from today.
