a good day

Today has been a good day.  Started out rough for one kid, but that is nothing new.  But I am AMAZED at how she turned it around.  Before I knew it, she was standing in front of me ready to start the day.  She was dressed, hair and teeth done, bed made, had eaten and ready to start school.  Doesn't seem like much, but it is.  It is crazy how different each kid is.  One is an early riser and one is not and one gets up and climbs in our bed any time during the a.m. hours.  Same craziness happens at night.  One goes off to bed with no problems, one stays awake as long as she possibly can (I think she just can't turn off her brain), and the other kid has no routine at all.  Our days are now pretty slow moving and mostly the same thing each day.  School, an errand, meals, snacks, a swim after dinner then bed time.  Sometimes I wish we were in a house so the kids could just go outside to play and get so energy out.  But to go out means packing up to go to the park and sadly I don't always feel like doing that.  But I am going to try and stay happy and content in the situation we are in.  We have all our needs met, what else do we need.  Even if school or attitudes don't go the way I want them to, I need to remember it is a good day because I have many blessings.
