My Reason for Living

So today has been what you could call CHALLENGING to say the least. There have been many tears and tantrums in this house today, and that has just been from me. I love my boys, they are full of life, joy, and boundless energy, but sometimes that boundless energy takes its toll. Combine it with outside influences, it can be a pretty potent combo on a tired, frazzled mum.

Anyway, its important to take a step back at the end of the day, to wipe the slate clean, and look forward to a new day tomorrow.

As I sit writing this, there is pure peace. Mr O is watching his favorite show "Dinosaur Train" and eating his dinner, while Mr G is sitting peacefully next to me fully absorbed with mixing his milk into the rich tomato based pasta I cooked for their dinner. Sure, its not dinner around the table, so convict me and call me a bad mum, but they are loved, happy, and provided for, and THAT at the end of the day, is the most important thing.

Here is my reminder of today, I wont win any photographic prizes with this shot, it wont mean much to anyone else, but to me its a symbol of how amazing my children are. It might not have been the best of days. It might not have been much fun. But the end result was still alright, and tomorrow, well that is a new day, fresh with no mistakes in it! *smile*
