i want to remember....

Parenting is hard at times.
Parenting is rough some days.
Those good parenting days far outweigh the bad.
So, I want to remember the good in our days.

I want to remember....

-the sound of her voice saying "momma" before she had surgery.

-all their excitement over the summer reading program and receiving free books just by reading

-O's love of candy and donuts

-how Joci loved to sleep in her brothers' bedroom every night this past school year

-their resiliency with moving every single darn time

-the struggles of parenting 5 littles while Joe is away for the week

-that I took all 5 kids on outings, events, doctor's appointments, grocery runs, etc while Joe was at work

-the concern and love Sophie's surgeon has for her

I want to remember.....that the days are long, but the years are short.
