I feel like I have been complaining too much about molars, and the boys, and how Brandon is so busy with school. And then something happens and I am put back in my place and I realize just how lucky I am.
Some days I think staying at home and not having any help at night is the hardest job ever. And it can be, but I have never had so much fun at 'work'. I can honestly say, the stress I had during the last two years I taught is gone. I wake up happy and go to bed thinking about all the great things that happened today.
Which brings me to why I blog. I blog so Brandon can see the boys and not feel like he is missing out on anything. I blog so I can remember the silly random stuff that happens in our days. And I blog so our family that rarely sees our kids can feel like they know them.
I just really appreciate everything Brandon does so we can stay home and play and live stress free! I feel like I don't say it enough, but Thank You x100.
And I'm almost positive that if I let Brandon back as a guest blogger, he would say he appreciates everything I do everyday to keep the boys healthy and happy. Because he knows he could not do it!!
Why this post:
Because this story just breaks my heart. It happened last week. She is a mommy that lives in Cypress, who is also a teacher, and friends with someone from my old school.

And because this story has been playing over and over in my head for two days now:

One of the children that died at this house, it was only their second day there.
Anyways, I cried the whole time I read these stories and stopped to tell Brandon just how much I love him and love that he works as hard as he does for us. And then I prayed and that is when I realized I have been complaining too much. God has given me such a great life (fit throwing, molar screaming and all). I love every second of it.
And to all my working mommy friends, please don't read that top link. I don't want you crying too. It was a freak accident and your children will be fine.
And some pics from today to lighten the mood around here:
I think they are training for next season. Hudson walks around saying 'hut-hut".
So Upsetting! Thank you for the reminder and I gave both boys extra kisses today.
