Silver lining

An interrupted night. . .many times. Patience today people. Patience. Yet, there is silver in the interruptions. My sweet little girl fell asleep in my arms after struggling with who knows what. Gary asked her what was wrong, but she is unable to put voice to that kind of information yet. I enjoyed cuddling, holding, kissing and praying for her at 2:00. I was able to spend a few extra minutes with my man before he left for CA. Our alarms went off together at 3:15 and because I was still awake, we cuddled and just enjoyed being together. I even got a bit of a back rub. Mmmmmm 6:00 found me woken up again as my oldest "not quietly" got up to use the bathroom. I summoned him to my room and had a beautiful grin thrown my way--complete with big holes. The boy has lost 3 teeth in 2 weeks. He is cuter than every and I might add HUGE. Ah, my quiet is over. It is just past 7:00 and I'm being shown spiderman stickers by Simon who got them yesterday at the dollar store and slept with them. Each duck went with daddy and got to pick out something special. They also received a chat about "taking care of mommy". The boys have turned on every light in the house (why?) and are downstairs examining Garrison's bow and arrow. We hit the ground running. Silver. This morning when I hit a lull, I hope to be able to find the good, to mine the silver rather than just see the dirt. May there be lots of silver in your day as well.
