This really sums up how I feel as a parent right now better than I could ever say. Last night was a good night, but I spent most of it grouchy and braced for it to turn on a dime. I believe that my attitude has more to do with the outcome of this than most other factors, I'm trying to focus on the positive. Below are a list of things that drive me crazy about my kids and why they're secretly a blessing.

1. The mess, seriously they have no sense of putting something away or in the trash when they are through with it
-this means that I can afford to buy my kids food they like and is good for them and that they have things they enjoy using.
2. The non stop bickering and squabbling between them
-my children are healthy and free from disease and have the energy to voice their opinions whenever it suits them. They know their own mind and speak what theyre thinking whcih can mean they feel secure in their environment
3. Arguing about getting schoolwork done
-they live in a good school district where the teachers care if they do well and push them to do more, meaning assignments at home.

OK, so many if I just put the tight spin on it and and try to focus on what is going well instead of what is not, we can make this house a little saner place to live.

This is what i need to remember:
