one of those days

Today is one of those days that you love the fact you know your husband will come home and not be disappointed the house has consumed you while he was at work today, or that supper was not ready or burned for that matter.. Today has been a day like that, that, im so grateful for Chris' compassion and flexibility for me and the kids.
I feel like today is one of those days that makes a stay at home mom rough and super hard work. How many times can that kid really poop in one day, or how many times have i dug something outta that one's mouth, or said to this one stop kicking that one or.. no.. You did start it and dont do that and come here and stop being hateful and clean up this mess and dont eat like that and sit still! whew! Its days like today, not horrible, but days when your girlfriend calls and said, Ok your having a rough day Ill be there in 10 minutes to have some hot tea with you and you appreciate that they can walk though a path into your house and they arent judging, they are just loving.. when that girlfriend calls and says hay for no good reason Im thinking about you! Or the email that says.. I know mommy work is hard, the Lord is pleased, you are doing a good job hang in there! And not that, by any means im this terrific friend all the time, I mess up terrible often, but that the other friend is so terrific they just dont care about imperfections and disappointments and it takes aload off! My kids, much like dogs, are loyal and dont care that we cant find a clear place to sit, or that they are having Soybutter Jelly sammys again, but they also miss the boat of compassion and sharing a laugh, and those verbal communications that says hang in there, Love ya, let me cheer you on.. or my husband that reminds me this isnt all there is to being a stay at home mommy and the Lord is blessing us in doing what He has called us to do.. how much I appreciate that girlfriend (s) or husband on a day like today that says.. after all tomorrow is another day ;)
