Aren't they though? Some days are just better than others, and yesterday was one of those days. Whiny, whiny, whiny. And I am embarrassed to say that it wasn't my kids alone, it was all of us. We were tired, we were a little under the weather, just overall grumpy.
I found myself sitting on the kitchen floor playing trucks and magnets with the boys wishing that it was time for bath...yeah, it was 6:00. Jack had finally joined us after the saga of how many bites he had to finish before he could be excused and how revising the dinner prayer does have boundaries. God is great and God is bad isn't exactly what we had in mind...especially when he is bad because poor Jackson can't have everything in the world that he wants. He had changed his tune and was sitting in front of me hugging my neck and telling me how much he loves me...even though I was the "worst mom ever" only minutes earlier. Nonetheless, I had a moment. A moment where I was kicking myself on the inside for having such a sour outlook. I took a good look at what I do have and said a quick "thank you" before we went back to the rolling the truck 500 times and laughing game.
Perfect we are not, normal is up for debate, I like to think that we are real. A family that loves each other and has those days that are not so stellar. But it works and we are blessed, and today should be another good day rather than the Mr. Grumpy that is sprinkled in every now and then.

Well said, well said! Yes, we all fall into that Grumpy phase at least for a bit, but we do have to step back once we have regained composure and thank our lucky stars for what it is we do have. It is great to know that we aren't the only family that has our moments. :)
