"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

I really should be...

Getting ready for Turkey Day. I'm tired and lacking motivation and I'm going to suffer for my laziness since I've procrastinated enough that I don't have time to get to Costco and the grocery store before Chloe gets out of school (she has short days on Wed). This means I get to take both kids with me on all of my errands instead of just one.

Maybe I'll get the grocery items from Fred Meyer so Chloe can go to the kid's play area while I shop, hmm...

kids and errands. my life story. let me tell you, running errands with 3 kiddos, is 100 times worse then it was with 2. i do it all the time though, probably because i want to get out and do something, and if i don't go with them, it seems to never happen...
i understand completely.
