This post, as most of them are I suppose, is for me more than anything else. Do you ever have those days when you feel like everything is going wrong? When is seems like all the stress in the world is on your shoulders? When you feel like your children did nothing right all day and everything that came out of your mouth was no, time-out, or loudly saying their names? I have had those kinds of days for the last couple of days. I know a lot, if not all, of this is because of the stressful situation we are in as a family. However, I honestly think that I "yelled" at the boys more in the last couple of days than I have their entire lives. As I put them both to bed tonight, I realized (actually remembered) that I don't want to rush through their lives! I want to treasure each moment I have with them. . .each stage (even if it is a difficult one)! So, in honor of that, here is a picture walk through each of my boys lives. . .a short picture walk that is! :)

Kallie I love you and admire you for the mother that you are. Just hang in there, I know it's easier said than done. The boys are doing fine I know you feel nutty but they are fine and so are you. I love you my sweet Kallie Dee and hope to have you close by for a very long time. Having you guys just down the road is a dream come true form me! In the words of a precious friend of mine..."you're fine!"
I love you!!!
Sorry you had a rough day. But don't worry, you are in good company.
