So far, today has been pretty good.  End of year craziness is in full swing.  I am ready for summer and yet still worried about how I will keep four kids entertained full time without losing my mind.

This morning E woke up on the wrong side of the bed.  She was grumpy with me and her sisters.  Respect is my latest ax to grind around here.  It seems that when E is upset she takes it out on others with rude remarks and yelling...hmmm, I wonder where she gets that from.

Today was a day for laundry around here.  I am determined to get it under control but that determination seems to wane after about three days.  I peeled the couch cushion covers off and got them prepped for a spin in the washer.  Can't wait to see my couch without marker and food stains again!

I made fresh salsa for after school.  I am super excited about it.  Spring afternoons are best spent on the deck with salsa and chips.  Yum!

I am still getting used to having a boy in the house.  Constant destruction, bumps and bruises, LOUD.  They are physically demanding in a different way.  And then he smiles and I see the sunshine and for a moment I forget the work and tears and exhaustion.

Today is a good day.
