The Original Because of Love

For the past couple of days I have been taking care of two little boys. It has been quite entertaining. I have learned that boys and girls are very different. I have also learned that 3 kids can be a handful. I am good with 2. Not sure about a 3rd yet.....

Here is something that I thought about yesterday morning. I was trying to get the 3 year old ready to go to preschool. After running around to get all 3 kids ready for the day, packing a lunch, getting juice cups, passys, etc. I was set to go. I drove to the school and then got all 3 of them in the stroller and made our way to the classroom. Once he was all set in the room, I turned and made the trip back to the car. I was hurrying to get Alyse and the 1 year old in their car seats and set for the ride back home. All of a sudden I realized, "What in the world are you rushing for? You don't have anywhere all that important to go. Just relax!"

I find myself doing that a lot. I am hurrying here and there. I have to get this done and cross that off my list. When really, I don't have anything that I really have to be in a rush for. I think sometimes that I waste a day by not enjoying things that pass me by when I am to worried about the next thing. I think that I am going to try harder to just relax and enjoy the little moments in my days because Alyse is growing up really fast, and I learned this week that having one little girl should not be taken for granted!
