My Boys

Today I woke up on the "wrong side of the bed" or something because I was super crabby. I thought if I went to the gym, I'd feel better. I did for the 15 minutes I got to work out before poor little Mikey Roo started crying so hard in the gym's daycare that they had to come get me. Sad for Mikey...Bummer for me. After that I started letting everything bug me.

When the boys go down for their naps, I usually try to listen to a General Conference Talk while I clean the kitchen and prepare at least part of dinner. Earlier this week I finished listening to all the most recent conference talks so I decided to go back and find some super old ones. (I LOVE the Mormon Channel App for my iphone!) Randomly I chose Susan W. Tanner's talk, "Did I Tell You...?" from 2003. It was perfect! At the risk of sounding a little cheesy, I have to say that I was led to listen to that today.

Lately I've been forgetting what an awesome blessing it is for me to be able to be with my kids all day. Rather than treasuring the time, I've been thinking about all the things I have to give up (i.e. being in the bathroom by myself). I love my little guys and I'm grateful that I get to be their mom. I'm glad I had a little reminder today.

PS Isn't that picture the cutest? Ty made it in preschool. The other day we were coming home from church and Tyler said, "Daddy, I could use a snuggle wuggle." Melt my heart.
