Just one of those days....

So this morning I woke up in a rather grumpy mood. Georgie you were up pretty much all night grunting and squirming and basically making it impossible for me to sleep. Z you woke up like 4 times which is so unlike you so needless to say I was very tired... It is nights like this I find myself saying ridiculous things to you guys, things you would never understand and I sound silly for even saying them.... "George you are killing me kid!" "are you serious right now Zelie? Why are you awake AGAIN!" and my favorite, "seriously George you have got to be kidding me!!!" So when I got out of bed at 7 am I realized I was in a foul mood and needed to do something about it or I would be a horrible irritable mother all day long. So I decided to try and bring you both to daily mass.... by myself.... dun dun dun.....

Daily mass turned out to be the best decision! Zelie you were so well behaved I cried! George wanted me to hold him which made me nervous because I planned on leaving him in the car seat so I could hold/wrestle you the whole time. You were an ANGEL! You did all the signs of the cross, you tried to sing along with the Alleluia, and you shouted joyful little "maymens" the whole time and my heart melted! Than you got to walk to communion all by yourself for the first time and when Father blessed you you let out the sweetest little joyful giggle.... It truly turned my attitude around for the rest of the day. No longer was a tired worn down mother, I was a proud and smiling one!! So thank you for my gift Zelie my sweet goofy girl!

It is so crazy how one little thing can change your entire mood & outlook on things! All I could think about this morning was how tired I was and how long the day was going to be and a quick half hour at mass turned everything around. God is so good! I am so blessed to have you 2 and your dad! You all make my life so much more worth living and I hope I can always appreciate the little things and be the best that I can be for my family!! I love you forever- I'll like you for always- as long as I'm living my babies you'll be!!

Love,

Mama
