I love Christmastime but hate the accompanying stress. Every year I wonder why I don't get smarter. Last night I was reading the General Conference talks (I try to read one a night...). I reread the talk the President Monson gave on Sunday morning. It is titled "Finding Joy in the Journey" and it was just what I needed. Here is the quote that literally brightened my day.
"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will-- to your suprise-- miss them profoundly."
So at this moment, I am enjoying a bowl of ice cream and my messy house while my darling children sleep. I loved them lots today and decided not to let stress ruin my happiness.

Thats awesome thanks for sharing. I needed that....I also need some good vball drills for only 8 girls. I'm trying to keep things fun at club practice but you can only do so much with few girls. Any new drills would be wonderful!
Perfect thoughts (and post!) for this time of year. I think I'll go enjoy some hot chocolate amidst the clutter. :)
