"Numbering the People"

One very busy mom once said, "I just can't count how many times I get up with the children" Meaning not that she couldn't count that far, but that if she let herself count she would feel worse that whole day.

Yeah, it happens that way . . . The best way to deal with it is to bounce out of bed cheerfully! I've done it both ways and the "counting" thing just gets one worked up in a bad frame of mind to start the day.

Each time I get to choose how I will respond . . . and lets just say that I've had PLENTY of opportunites to respong right the last few weeks with Wayne teething some more and with the colds going around.

I can so relate right now, Aimee! Kaylie is teething and also has a cold that has her really stopped up and wouldn't let her get to sleep in her bed last night until midnight!
Ah, the joys of motherhood--God gave us these Treasures; He'll help us parent them thru the sleepless nights.......
