                 I am so blessed. There are so many things that I am so thankful for. For instance, I have  great children. They are crazy but I love them dearly. My children can drive me nuts at times but, I couldn't imagine living life without them. They run around messing things up which I just cleaned. But, I will miss this when they are older and out of the house. They eat so much I can hardly keep up with the grocery bill. But I love to cook and it will be boring when all i have to cook for is 2 instead of 9. They are loud! Running through the house like little hooligans. But when they are gone the silence is ear piercing. Bed time is absolutely chaos. They get out of bed and run to the other rooms, get up and say " I'm thirsty" or "I need to use the bathroom" 500 times. But it will make me feel old when I go to bed at 7:00 pm because I have nothing to keep me up  . The little finger prints all over things are just a reminder that they are still here to be taught and to be loved no matter what. They are a huge responsibility but living without responsibility would make me selfish, undependable, and spoiled. Who wants to be around someone like that? I love my children and I'm so thankful they are a huge part of my life.
