Every once in a while, life throws you for a loop whether you expect it or not. For me, that loop is the trials and tribulations of this trouble-filled week managing my six kids without my husband, with three weeks left of whatever else life wants to fast-ball at me. I mean, what else could possibly go wrong? Don’t answer that. {Knocks on wood}
Saturday was yet another day when a lot didn’t go right, feelings were hurt (mostly mine) and tempers flared (again, mostly mine). But through it all, and despite my anxiety, there were moments of pure joy, pure sweetness and love that some how wash away all the doom-and-gloom, even if only for a little while.
For example, my three youngest were lumped together watching Mickey at the new desk. So enthralled with both the desk and The Mouse, so adorably clustered together like grapes on a vine, dangling against the desk.
Here’s to hoping my grapes are just as cute today as they were yesterday, and that they don’t decide to revolt against mommy as they have been this week. I’d hate to squish them like, well, you know.
