Life is crazy today. I can't find enough time in the day to do all that I need to do and when the evening rolls around I'm too tired to do anything. I've been stressing all day about my Christmas cards and getting them in the mail. When I would sit down to work on them Sydney wanted to help too much and I wanted to tell her NO, I'M DOING IT but she only wanted to help a little bit right and what's the harm in that. She also wanted to help shovel the driveway that I have been going to clean off for a while now. I wanted to do it quickly but she kept wanting a turn with the shovel. Again I want to say NO but I stop and smile that she even wants to be with me and help. As I started to make progress again on the cards (they are already addressed) Sarah would wake up and need Mom's attention.
While I silently scream and want to cry from my self-inflicted stress, a calm comes over me and a gentle reminder comes of why we celebrate this season.
So slow down and cherish the celebration of the birth of our Savior.

You are so good and gentle with your girls. I totally hear your silent screams and I only have two. Independence is a love/hate relationship in our house. Hang in there and know you're alone in your silent screaming.
ditto to Kara...I need to have the silent screams more often, I feel like I let it out maybe more than I should...thanks for the reminder to slow down and cherish!
