We spent the weekend on the coast in a beach house. We had no internet access, so it was all focused on each other. It was supposed to be a vacation....it was supposed to allow me to get away from all the stress of unpacking and allow me to relax. But vacationing with kids isn't so easy.
The baby was perfect. She was happy and giggly, but the older two kids fought and whined left and right. It was overwhelming. I was constantly cleaning up after everyone and trying to get the kids to quit fighting and being mean and rude.
We got back yesterday and there has been a lot of hyperactivity now with being home. And hyperactivity means they don't listen to me at all. I am beyond exhausted from unpacking and going on vacation and then back to unpacking. I can hardly keep myself going.
I bet you are wondering where the blessing/miracle is, huh? Well, here it is.... Even with all of that, even with the stress and exhaustion, even with the arguing and whining....I love my kids dearly and I love being a mom. I wouldn't have it any other way. My life wouldn't be complete without them. I am so blessed to be a mom.
