Day 4: Silence

That was what I was supposed to spend time being thankful for.  Except I took the kids to mass in the morning, trying to get a few moments of silence during church, and that was impossible.  They were crazy.  Literally.  Then we came home and ate some lunch and they crashed for naps.  I was so tired from wrestling them in church I laid down next to Jackson and took a killer nap.  That was needed.  Then Michael came home shortly thereafter and our night was time with kiddos.  I didn't have a lot of silence in my day.  There were a few moments of it where I tried to be present to the stillness...but at dinner time last night my 'thanks' for the day were crazy kiddos (crazy being a bit extreme I know).  One point in church when they were out of control I just closed my eyes and thanked God for them.  I know my future holds a lot more silence and stillness than I'll ever have with young children...but that also means that when that comes these blessed days of them being young will be gone.  So for right now, I'm appreciating and thankful for the lack of silence in my life.  :)
