Torn

Lately I have been torn between two feelings.

The first feeling is that I am in this beautiful stage in my life where I have all my kids at home and we can still spend mornings at the Discovery Museum or the Exploratorium.

The second feeling is that I am in this exhausting phase where I have 3 kids at home each morning, almost no time to myself, not enough time to fit work projects in, too many things to juggle, and I end up getting more frustrated with them than I would like.

I keep telling myself that someday I won't remember the fatigue and the craziness. But I will remember that they looked like this...

we did this... (world's slowest bowling game)

they played this...

and drew this...

Of course, all they will remember is that when Mommy got tired she yelled.
