An executive decision

"There are lives I can imagine without children but none of them have the same laughter & noise." -Story people

I know I just posted this quote, but I am posting it again because I have been thinking a lot about it last night and today. I love being with my kids, and somehow I can't seem to grab ahold of that feeling the last couple of days. Not that I don't like being with them, I just haven't loved it the way I usually do. It seems that as soon as something knocks my life off balance, I lose my patience and I can't enjoy the child chaos. Since I have been dealing with my back, I have had less patience with my kids ups and downs. I hate feeling that way. It's funny how if Mom is off balance, everybody is off balance. Like I said, I have been thinking about this quote and decided that I'm changing my ways, and it is time for me to be an example, get down on their level, and enjoy them. I am going to make them laugh and then soak it all in. I'm excited about it.

P.S. My back is on the mends. I definitely still feel like I have to be super careful, but it's definitely feeling much better. The chiropractor has been successful so far =0).
