Life is crazy chaotic right now. But I have to admit, it is so much nicer now than when Lucy was a teeny baby. Or maybe it isn’t. No matter what I feel like from day to day, I strive to really enjoy every single good moment and learn from the stressful ones. There are lots of stressful ones. Bedtime, school time, grocery shopping, naptime, play time….
This video from Trace Adkins is so close to my heart. It says exactly what I feel. I graduated high school at 17, moved out and was in college before I was 18! Got engaged at 20, married at 21, and had my first baby a week after my one year wedding anniversary. I have zoomed through life and for once I want it to slow down.
I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving! Cherish the chaos!
