My life now is about family--meals, laundry, running errands, school, etc. It's crazy and my friends say to hold on because it goes so fast. They are right--my son will leave for college next year and my daughters are both teenagers. Seems like yesterday we were up all night and dealing with diapers. I am thankful for these years, but they are difficult. Sometimes the simplicity of a meal in necessary to remind me of the true gift of this moment. We are still in a sugar cereal stage (although not all that often) but it reminds me that I am in still in the "kid stage" and to embrace it. Soon our breakfasts will be wheat toast for two, but for today I am thankful to clean up another cereal bowl.
