I wish, I am

I wish I was getting a full night's sleep.
I wish Leo didn't scream bloody murder in his carseat.
I wish Leo was on more of a schedule.
I wish that the older boys didn't bicker so much.
I wish that I had more time to myself throughout the days and nights.
I wish there was more quiet time in my house.
I wish laundry would do itself and dinner would magically appear on our table at 5:45.
I wish my dog was calm.
I wish my clothes fit me.
I wish I weighed 100 pounds.

I am so happy that I have three beautiful sons.
I am thankful for a healthy family.
I am in love with my husband more and more each day.
I am realizing how fast my kids are growing up.
I am scared to let them go.
I am thankful we have food to eat and a house to live in.
I am thinking I should read more good books.
I am in need of a major diet/exercise plan after surgery.
I am looking out my front window watching a wheelchair ramp being built for my neighbor's wife and am reminded that yes, life can change in an instant.
I am going to say a few extra prayers tonight, letting God know that just because I am run down and tired from being a mom and homemaker every day, that I love my life and I really wouldn't trade it for the world.

Leo is seven weeks old today. I am still waiting for that extra long stretch of sleep to magically appear. I know it will come, but I suck at having patience. My surgery is on Thursday. I am anxious for it. I am ready for it to be done with, and I'm uber nervous about recovery. Say some prayers. Sorry I don't have any cute pics of the kiddos. I love this weather!!!!!
