Starbucks!

Today I had a brainy idea that it would be nice for me to spend some quality time with my husband. So I decided to join him for a cup of coffee at starbucks. It was a disaster! I took our 2 younger children with me (our older 2 are back in school). It was time consumming keeping Abbey occupied while we tried to enjoy our coffee and talk a little (all this while I was feeding our baby Caleb). In between all this Abbey was feeding me some of her goldfish. They go great with coffee (kidding)! Next thing I know there are goldfish spilled all over the floor and a puddle of throw-up from Caleb! So....me and Abbey begin to clean the floor with napkins. Whew! This was not at all what I had in mind. Now it is time for a bathroom break. Don't ask me how but, Abbey got peepee all over the floor.....now time to clean up the bathroom floor! I did get to look into Mike's eyes a few times but, we did not get to talk much except about the moment. Don't get me wrong...I did get a good white chocolate mocha and some good memories and I love the children that God has blessed us with! I always wanted to be married and have children and God has blessed me with both! In the middle of the night when Caleb wakes me up to remind me that he is hungry I walk through the childrens bedrooms to check up on them and I say a silent thank you to God for eachone of them. As life passes us by so quickly....I don't take the time I should to remind my children how much I REALLY love them and love shairing my life with them!
I am honored to be their mother and I am always asking God for guidence in this big role in their lives. A rough day with my children is so much better than a great day without them!!!! They are my life-line....they keep me going! Without them I was empty...now I am fullfilled. God is so Awesome! Here is a picture of Abbey and me with Caleb!
