Lately I've been on a roller-coaster when it comes to attitude. I go from having the attitude of feeling stuck in the house doing nothing but wiping butts and noses to an attutide where I feel as though I'm the luckiest girl in the world with two beautiful daughters and a wonderful husband. I go from feeling as though everything lies on my shoulders. Laundry, cooking & cleaning seem like they are constantly glaring at me sticking out silly little tongues because I can't catch them. When I get the kitchen cleaned up from a meal and both girls are bathed I feel as though I've conquered Mount Everest, standing on top admiring the world below. No matter what the day has held, there is no middle ground when it comes to attitude.
As I sit in the rare silence of our living room, hearing nothing but tiny sqeaks from a sleeping baby, I'm on Mt. Everest. God has been so good to our family. Somedays it's easier to dwell on the unfairness of 2 kids , 2 heart defects, 10 doctors appointments in one month, broken bones, and sleepless nights. But today I'm dwelling on two beautiful girls, 2 beating hearts, doctors who know how to heal, and a fireplace that runs on little gas :)
Raising a mug of homemade hot chocolate to the snow falling outside, it's beautiful.
