When Life Gives You Lemons…

Or, when your 3-year old trips and falls while carrying a full egg basket, make scrambled eggs.  Here’s my attempt at lemonade on a day that started at 12:30 am with a baby who didn’t get back to sleep until 4.  And then woke up for the morning at 5:30 am.  Sigh.

Today, I ::

:: worked on my favorite part of quilting – handsewing the binding.

:: knitted a bit of the 3rd in the family of hats for this winter, this one for my love.

:: turned a perfectly respectable and yummy granola bar into an oatmeal chocolate late afternoon treat.

:: got three kids through the day with full tummies and only minor scrapes.  Even the tree-climbers.

:: gave away a dozen eggs because I can. And we have blue ones now!

:: repeated “everything’s going to be alright” until I almost believed it.  And really, it is.

:: was very grateful when David came home.  :)

    ahhhhhh……what a great attitude. to see beyond the hub bub privilege of raising 3 kids and the business of keeping up a small farm, you shine with your patience and positivity. what a great life lesson for your children to observe in you that “making lemonade” always wins.
