You’re welcome for the chubby naked baby pic.
Saturday was one of those “one thing after another” days. Running all over the house putting out flames, and not the kind George Strait gets to put out.

The Gift of “Eventually”
Thursday, June 20th, 2013
Maybe, maybe, I’m getting better at this surviving 5 under 5 gig. Talking to my very good friend today about how in awe we are over Mamas who can smile through the mess around them. Who seem genuinely happy and at peace even when all around them is anything but peaceful. We want that magic!
Blessed in the Mess
Tuesday, March 12th, 2013
Where sin abounds, Grace much more abounds. I usually don’t see it and sometimes I flat out push it away.
But Grace still happens. When I’m not looking, while our family crowds on the couch, someone inevitably crying, tired or put out, while we sing of His love, just like that, through a few words He blesses me with a little refreshing breath, a drink of living water. And I take it gladly, in unexpected snippets.
My Little Messling

It was the spaghetti at lunch that should have let me know, “it’s gonna be one of those days”.
Do you ever just have “one of those days”?! I have lots of them and they usually involve one particular blessing of mine.
Then there was the macaroni at supper time….
And the milk.
Then this.
That’s my wild girl!
