Yesterday was a bad day. Jon's hours have been so long and hard lately. The kids and I have hardly seen him. I went to bed last night thinking, "I was a bad mom today" and it was true. I had no patience, I was tired, didn't cook dinner, and didn't take any time to just play with the kids. Today I came across a link on Face book about a family that has recently lost their child to cancer, and also there was a link on that blog to another family that lost their baby girl in a drowning accident. While reading these posts, I couldn't help but cry for them. And then I felt so ashamed. These people would give anything to see their babies again, and here I am wishing for a break from mine. What a good reminder for me. Even when it is exhausting, and so very hard, I need to cherish it. I have three beautiful babies that are healthy, happy, and even sometimes trouble. I am so blessed.
