Worth It

Have you ever been so tired that you fall asleep every time you sit down?

I have.


Have you ever had so much to do in one day that you can't possibly get it all done?

I have.


Have you ever totally forgotten to take kids to one of their activities?

I have.


Have you ever had piles of laundry taking over the house?

I have.
Have you ever either needed to exercise and lose weight or go shopping to buy new clothes, but not have time to do either?
I have.


Have you ever had bathrooms that needed cleaning, food that needed fixing, and kids that need help with their homework and piano all at the same time?

I have.
Have you ever felt completely scatterbrained with so much running through your mind, yet not being able to focus on any of it?
I have.


Have you ever wondered what you were thinking when you decided to have another baby?

I have.


Have you ever looked at your sweet baby and decided it was all worth it?

I have.

I love my sweet little baby.
He is worth it.

So cute. I feel like that, and I only have 2 1/2! I am glad it is all worth it. Wish I could be there to help.

Boy - you just described my life right now perfectly! I'd forgotten how exhausting having a new baby can be - but I am also so grateful to have him in our family.

I totally love this post. I think you are so amazing! I married into an awesome family. And I'm glad you had another baby so our baby can have a cousin to play with!

He is so darling, Elaine. I loved this post--I can only imagine all the odds and ends that you have to attend to in addition to the demands of a newborn. You always made the four seem so easy, even during times I'm sure it wasn't. I have a feeling you're doing the same now...
