Awesome post! Great reflection...your posts always make me step back and think about how I live my life, and put things into better perspective. Thank you for that.

Jennifer, your post literally brought tears to my eyes. I can be crafty, if I try, but I just hate the MESS. Sad but true. As I type this, my butter is thawing to room temperature so that my kids and I can make some sugar cookies and decorate them for Halloween. Today I am thankful for your post, as it has made me realize that my kids just want ME, just ME. Thanks!!
Happy Halloween!

I couldn't agree with you more. I feel the exact same way. I feel so guilty on the days where I'm wishing away the current year so that they will gain more independence and not follow me from room to room, asking me thousands of questions, all while I am on an important phone call! I KNOW the day will come when I miss these fun years, but I hate it when people remind me of that. It makes me feel awful for having those thoughts, and I want to say to them,"So were your childrens toddler years just all roses and giggles?!!" Doubt it!!

You are NOT alone, Jennifer. I feel your pain, your guilt, your patience issues, and your joyful/content days as well! I'm sure a LOT of mom's feel the same way, though none are brave enough to express it to anyone. Thanks for keeping it real.

The whole story was great!!! I could picture the whole scenario even thought I've never met your kids!! :-)

BTW, I am thankful for a much needed night of rest last night due to Grace's cough. I gave in a bought a new humidifier and she slept GREAT last night, as did I!!

I agree, Jennifer. As a Baptist growing up, I never had a "personal" relationship with Christ. My heart was never in it. As a Catholic(and an adult now), my relationship has never been stronger.
There are many things that I do not agree with in the Catholic church, one of which is birth control and I still decided to convert. I think that the Catholic church is SO big on following traditions, and that is one of them. But I think that no matter what religion you choose there will be things you don't agree with along the way(getting back to your post!). I agree, though, why wouldn't she try other denominations before just casting religion aside? There are many more options!

" But for me, i have chosen to practice Christianity and not Catholicism."

This statement is a little contradicting to me. I was raised a Southern Baptist, with blinders on my eyes, and thinking all Catholics went to Hell. I married a Catholic, and joined the church last Easter. I took the class to convert b/c I wanted to know the church from the inside out, and I was floored at the similarities between the two churches. I was taught a LOT from the Bible and how going to Heaven had nothing to do with doing or being good enough, but having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, which, in my opinion is the most important part of being a Christian. So I have to chose to practice Catholicism, which is the same as Christianity.

What a nice brother! As much as Grace tries to boss Zach around to get him to do this with her, he runs the other way and yells,"I'm not a GIRL!!!" hahaha!

Today I am thankful for encouragement from a friend that I haven't seen or talked to in awhile. Upon discovering a new adventure I am getting into, she sent me a message to check on me and encourage me. Made my day.
