Joys and Struggles with kids.

The joys of kids. They can make you laugh they can make you cry and they can make you wanna pull your hair out. lol. They can break your heart, and they can make your heart fill like it will burst with love and joy. And sometimes all in a day.

I love my little munchkins more than anything. Some days its like, OK, days over, i don't' care that its only 10am, its over, go to bed NOW. Some days its like oh wow, its 9, guess you need to go to bed. but let me give you one more cuddle. most days its in between. That's what happens when you have a toddler who wants to be independent and do what she wants, eat what she wants and wear what she wants. then you have the infant, who wants to DESPERATELY to be mobile and to do things. There comes days when they get so frustrated with everything that they frustrate me in everything and we just all have a good cry.

BUT, they have such sweet hearts and sweet spirits and as long as i don't' loose sight of the fact that they are MY babies, and they want to please me, then it can be a good day. as long as i remember that they are JUST babies and regardless of how fast they are going, they aren't as old as they think they are, then every thing's fine. Some days, all they want is a good love and a big cuddle... the days when you want to the least are the days they need it the most.

Today was a day like that. Lizzie went to bed too late last night, got up too early today and then got wore really out at school, then got a short nap cause i had to wake her up to go to the post office, then drug them though the PX cause she needed diapers, then made her eat when she didn't' want it, even though she just asked for it. (no, i didn't force her to eat, can't make her if she doesn't' want to) But its 9 and i don't' *think* i hear anything going on upstairs.

So, just rambling at this point, think I'll go scrap!

Oh i finished my Use Your Stash challenge. YAY me! Got a million swaps to finish now.
