"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

We're having one of those days!
Today is not a good day for happy feelings and smiles here at the Maynes house. I would like to say differently since I woke up in such a good mood, started the day out with a family prayer (lucky we did too!! can't imagine what it would be like without!) and I was so motivated!! But for some reason, this day just wants us to be off. The boys keep fighting. About EVERYTHING. I keep getting after them with more than sweet tones.... usually unnecessarily. The toilet overflowed and just two days after getting it sparkling clean (even Charity told me what a nice job I had done on the bathroom), and all the towels I just washed, dried, and folded are now back in the washer full of potty water. The dishes are still not done!! I keep telling them to wash themselves, but they're not listening, and neither are these boys!!! I'm still (VERY uncomfortably) pregnant. (need i say more) And all I can think about is the sweet little girl that will be joining this crazy mess in less than 2 weeks. Wishing she was already here, but wondering why she would want to be. Days like this keep me on my toes I guess, and keep me constantly reminding myself why I would choose this for my life (since you have to or you would totally lose it!), and well, make me grateful for the days that aren't like this. Opposition in all things I suppose. Can't recognize the good if we don't have the bad..... I just have to keep praying that we can make it through this day alive! Minus these hormones and crazy mood swings, I'm sure it could be much worse.
