The gift of an ordinary day

I got this video today from one of my faux finishing friends (we only communicate via email, but Sharon….. I hope you are a real life friend one day. I can tell we share pieces of our hearts. ).

Sometimes I look at my 3 healthy kiddos and think…… I love them so much my heart can barely handle it. Other times I look at them and think if I have to hear one more whine, one more request, one more anything…. that I will go crazy.

This put things back in perspective for me today.

If you are a mom,
know a mom,
have a mom,
or want to be a mom…..you are gonna cry.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Someone pass the kleenex.

Let me know what you think ladies….I love your comments.

    I need kleenex. Whew, i’m tearful here. What a beautiful video. I can so relate. We all should cherish the moments with our kids. They grow too fast. Thank you for sharing with us. That was beautiful.

    Wow! I’m a grandmother now and it seems that the grandkids are growing older wayyyy too quickly. My kids did too, however, I was so ‘busy’ that those treasured ordinary moments were sometimes overlooked. That makes me sad ~ Now, I spend more time and I treasure each moment, each conversation and personal interaction with all of them. We make memories as we go through each day so trying to record the now “extraordinary” moments is my goal. There are no more ordinary moments for me ~ 🙂

    I still need the tissues though!

    Your blog is beautiful as is your family!

    Brightest blessings,
    Pat

    As the mom who just sent one off to college this past fall I could so relate. The dread of it, though, was worse than the reality. I’ve come to realize they still call, email, and text almost daily. Sometimes I think I see more of him now than I did his senior year. But the video is right, it is the ordinary days that are the most priceless. Thanks for sharing.

    Gosh, I loved and needed that. I wish ordinary days could just slow down a bit.

    On my gosh girl! Now I need to touch up my make up. I am glad it ended the way it did though! I was thinking something tragic which would have brought on even more tears.
    Thanx for sharing! It is a nice take a breathe and continue on in the insanity moment of the day.
