So I don't normally cry, but today I almost did. Have you ever had one of these days...
The floor was mopped and carpets vacuumed before noon (thanks to a lovely friend of mine) anyway. Lunch time came and guess what - PB & J sandwich crumbs all over the rug. Then at dinner, milk was spilled again mostly on my rug, but splattered on my newly mopped floor.
"Oh no", I said, "not on my clean floor". And although not a biblical approach to my immediate temptation. I thought to myself, "don't cry over spilled milk". And the reality is, it doesn't change much. Yesterday my floor was dirty, today my floor is dirty. Yesterday my girls has sippie cups, today they got to use "big girl" cups. Today they are 4,3,1 and in the fall I'll start homeschooling and in the blink of an eye my girls won't spill milk all over my floor, they'll have milk spilled all over their floor.

What a reminder of how quickly life goes by, and that we are not always promised tomorrow. So we should EMBRACE today. It was encouraging to me remember the important things and not worry so much about what I didn't do or forgot to do! Thank-you for sharing! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Miss you!
Oh, I love you Kelly! Reading that made me want to laugh and cry. :) I think I'll go play with my little boy now.
Let me tell you Girl,
I just stopped mopping my floors;)
Actually your completely right time goes by so fast! Taylor will be going into Middle Scool this coming school year!!!!!
Just poppin' in Kelly...This was a great reminder. I need these kinds of reminders often, sadly!
Love you...enjoy your girls and floors (clean or dirty!). We are blessed! :)
