If ever there were a day....

to give yourself some grace... today is the day ;)

we have all tried to start implementing our new year's resolutions. we are recovering from over indulgence and under discipline. if your kid's are anything like mine, they are restless and tired of staring at old, boring, mom. currently one child is climbing the table, one is holding onto my leg and crying, and two are staring at the TV!  dinner is not prepared, and i am still digging out of the christmas hole. i refuse to go to the store until everything in my kitchen is cooked and eaten. to be honest it's not because i want to be resourceful, but i saw the budget last night.... OUCH!

lucy wants to know what party we are going to tonight, and is crying b/c i told her the parties are over....



AJ ran into a wall and has a goose egg on his egg...


Julia told Katie she was going to jail b/c she was mean to her all the time....


and Katie cried when I told her i was throwing out all the christmas candy b/c i couldn't handle one more little voice asking me if they could have one.....


yep, it's holiday hang over day in the Littlejohn house.

if ever there were a day to give yourself some grace.... today is the day! i am currently swimming in all the extra grace i could find in my off and on, constantly interrupted, 20 minute meeting with Jesus.

tomorrow might not be the beginning of a new year, but i am so grateful that tomorrow is the beginning of a new day... and the day after that.... and the day after that!

b/c if ever there were a day...
