Little Joys


This morning, no, change that...Last night, I started thinking about what I could write about today for "Tuesdays Unwrapped".   I knew that nothing was popping out at me, and I wasn't having all those little revelations that sometimes just seem to come so naturally.    And we can't find our camera battery, which means no great pictures of what I've captured.  

Instead, I had this:

A messy house, and the feeling of no matter what I will do, it will never all be together.  A cold that won't go away.   Fussy kids.  A busy and messy schedule - too much to do in too little time to do it.   No toilet paper - yes, you heard that right, and no it's not the first time that has happened.

But I did have these little faces to keep me company.    (this pic is actually from Christmas - I need new ones!)



And this sweetie to give me a hug.    


The kids and I had a lovely little lunch on the back deck.    Where big sister kept telling little brother to leave her birdhouse alone.   This is how she explained herself... "Birds of three, let it be!"   Oh, the little joys.

Oh bless your heart!!! I really thought I was the only human ALIVE to ever run out of toilet paper!!!! We buy it in the big ole huge packages from Sam's Club and we always think we have more than what we actually do. I think it might be a big family thing - there's 7 of us. We seriously go through a roll in each bathroom every day. Maybe I should figure out why????
