I am so thankful that Chad is home most nights by 6:00pm, if not before. We also get to see him at lunch time probably 3 days a week, if only for a few minutes. Today is one day that he left the house around 6:00 am (he has been very consistent at working out at a local gym most mornings before going to work) and hasn't been home yet. The boys are in bed. Pheeeewwww......
Why do I get frustrated so easily? Why does all the energy and volume wear me out? Why can't I just enjoy the chaos? Embrace the mess? Accept the rough and tough boy play?
Right now I am taking in the quiet.... the ticking of the clock, the waves I can hear crashing in on Carson's noise maker. I feel at peace once again, refreshed.
I love peeking in on the boys after they have drifted off to sleep. They are so sweet.
Tomorrow is a new day. I hope to keep my cool better than I did today.

You are certainly not alone in having trouble embracing the chaos! When I'm feeling reflective, I wonder if the noise helps us to appreciate the quiet even more? (But most days I just find myself thinking, or even saying, "Shhh...")
I hope today was a better one.
I know exactly what you mean Kristi! My chaos is girl flavored, but I have the same feelings. :)
