Sometimes You Get Tired Of:

• crying children
• old houses with holes
• cleaning up insulation because of old house with holes
• doing dishes
• washing hands
• folding laundry
• turning on PBS
• not seeing the sun for weeks on end
• calling people who never call you back
• hearing from people you don't really want to talk to
• sweeping the floor three times in one day, the same floor, wish I was exaggerating
• of your style-less hair
• feeding chickens
• being cold
• doing things that no one cares about or notices
• then consoling yourself by doing a project that no one cares about, notices, or makes a difference in the long run
• people not napping, including yourself
• a child whining about the homework you're making her do
• telling the child, repeatedly, that you're not the one that hands out the homework
• people asking for: attention, treats, food, snacks, a show, to go to the bathroom, what's for dinner, what you packed them for lunch, etc.
• going to meetings that you don't really want to go to:

but then you come home to this:

and you realize and are reminded of what a blessed life you have.
