On returning home the four children were all ASLEEP! I thought sweet I can rest too! And I did. Chilled out on the couch til around 3:30 when they got up.
I had to go to the post office so I took four barefoot babies with me (oops). Then the butcher and back home.
I got dinner started, kids started getting ready for bed (pjs, tidy room etc) and time wore on.
We had dinner, tidied up, read some books, had child-sized chats and slowly, eventually put kids to bed.
At the end of the day I had nothing special to share with the father of those kids.
Nothing spectacular happened that would result in my heart being filled and a productive relationship filled day could comprehend.
I had barely seen these little mites for an entire day and it saddened my soul from it..
A more fulfilling day would be spent WITH my lil adventurers whether we go do something special or not.
5 things I am Thankful for:
1. ALL the children
2. Being in the PRIME of my life
3. A homey house, even if its small and seemingly never tidy
4. Babysitter who allows me 'time to myself'
5. Fulfilled heart - most days..
