Today was a crazy day. Not the head spinning crazy, just the “nothing went as planned” crazy.
That being said, I think the day went really well.
All my children still have 10 fingers and 10 toes; though my 3 year old swears her thumb is bleeding to death.
My husband loves me, and told me so.
I talked to my best friend and laughed more times than I can count.
And. . . . . I made dinner in 30 minutes, my children ate it, and didn’t complain (well about the food anyway).
Life is good.
