Tonight my heart is full

I had a rough day at work today. Nothing was going right, we kept having to redo our work, and by the end of the day I was very discouraged and was ready to quit. Then, I went to get my babies. My girl was all smiles and excited to show me her "mommy ball and baby ball". My boy was all chatty, content to just play with his Lego train cars. And it made the rough day seem a tad better.

I made supper with items that were already prepared and all I had to do was throw it all in a pan. I was even able to wash dishes while the kids were happy to play under the table with no fighting at all! They played so well together that I was even able to whip up a pan of muffins (the package mix that all you have to do is add milk, let's not get too excited). For once, I felt like my preparation paid off.

We made it through supper and the first bath without any meltdowns and I'm now nursing my boy to sleep, and for all I know it could be the last time he wants that comfort. That chapter is quickly coming to a close and I am soaking it all in.

I hear my baby girl belly laughing in the bathroom with dad. Bath time is one of her favorite things and they are so silly together. It heals my heart a little bit to know that my kids are happy even when I am not exactly in the headspace I want to be for them.

Here's to hoping tomorrow is a little better and filled with even more comfort and giggles.
