Today was a really long day with the kids. It was one of those types of days where every time I tried to speak I was interrupted by a child needing something. It is these types of days that make me start to question my sanity.
Everyone needs something.
Everyone wants something.
No, that is not what that one wanted, the other thing is.
That type of day.
My dad stopped by in the middle, he expressed his amazement at how they were all all over the place.
He did take pity on me and built a shelf that was in the box when he came. However, when I asked him if he wanted to stay around for a bit after that, I think I saw some smoke on the floor where his shoes had been a second before. :)
Towards the end of the day, I was just seriously wanting to be alone for a bit, and not have someone talking to me.
So after a brief downpour, the sky was just beautiful and I went outside to see if I could capture some of the beauty of it.
Of course, I had a shadow. To be honest, it took me a bit of effort to be polite to Ty as he followed me around, and asking me what I was taking pictures of.
I was so focused on what I had in mind, and what I thought the view should be of, I almost sent him in before I heard him say, "Mommy, do you see it?"
I turned to ask him what, in not the most polite voice I have ever used, and there he was, my 4 yr old heart, looking at a rainbow
I almost missed it. A beautiful rainbow. One of Ty's very most favorite things on the planet. He prays for them. He thanks God for them when he prays at dinner. He loves them.
I, as his mommy, almost missed it with him. It was a big wake up for me, right before they went to bed ;)
It did not by any means take the tiredness from today away, I am exhausted.
But at the end of it all, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to enjoy the rainbow, God's promise to all of us, with my little charmer.
It was great.
and I got some great pics too.
