I sat down at my computer and wanted to post something on my blog.....What????? I couldn't think of anything profound to write about. I had one of those days today....I managed to make it through work but all the while thinking of everything I needed to do at home that I didn't get done this weekend because I was gone the entire weekend! I wasn't even able to come home immediately after work and start knocking things off my too do list because I had to drive kids to church for dance team practice....Overwhelmed was a huge understatement! Oh yeah...did I add I had a headache for five days now. I'm sure stress is the underlying factor...new job, new house 5 kids, sick husband.....etc.... So I quickly decided to move on and not post, but just read others tonight. My first stop....my sister's blog! I am constantly (and a little freakishly) amazed by how similar our lives go....BUT she usually teaches me how to handle it better.

Learning to Appreciate God's Gifts
Lord, help me to see each day, each moment, as a gift from you. Help me to be an example to my children of your love. Help me to forgive, to teach, to be thankful in every moment I am given with them. Re a kind work, a gentle touch and a sincere smile. Lord, let them see you through me
So the huge task for me is to stop stressing...enjoy each and every moment I have been given because the are a gift given especially to me by my Heavenly Father. I am so blessed but too blind to see it. Thank you Amy for opening my eyes once again!

Ha! There must have been something in the air because I had several people say they had a day like that too. Or maybe it is just the life of a mother. Either way (and yes we are freakishly alike since we do share one brain) it's so easy to know you are blessed, but even easier to forget it. :0) Glad we both survived it though. Love, Amy P.S by the way- you are an awesome mom- don't forget that!
