*****my eyes are green when i'm feisty. blue when i'm melancholy. both when i'm at ease with my world. this morn though, they are the most peculiar shade of gray?
i've yet to see what the day in it's entirety brings..
but it might be that i've...
hollered... Leif Philip or Samuel Brent (with sterness in my voice) at least five times before 10:00am this morning
or that i've had to break up three too many wrestling matches by 11:00am
might be because the city glass guys is here right now to replace two of my windows as i sit biting my nails in the basement with my brood n' both of my phones, this guy is flat out scary...
or because i had three kids simultaneously screaming MMoooMMM or WhAAAAA and all with the same degree of urgency...
or it might just be that despite all the commotion and headless chicken-ness, i'm snug as a bug in a rug and still so content with my role in this world...
yes, yes, i do believe it's the latter ;) there is joy in responsibility
and the glass guy is on his way out my door. all is well with the world...
ps and gray must be the new calm amid the raging storm color for this moma of three...

Boys boys boys. Goodness, whatever it is that picture is beautiful. Your skin is amazing.
Can't even imagine how busy the boys must keep you! Glad to hear you're all doing great though!
Thanks for the reminder that being a mom is the greatest call on earth and one day we will all look back and think, "oh, to have them be that little again." Or at least I will, heck, I do now.
I LOVE your new home! It is adorable. I love the way the staircase is shaped going upstairs, the man room is great too! I can't wait to see it "Coty-fied"! Have you tried googling how to remove the glaze from the brick fire place?
Look at you go, Miss Calm Amid The Storm. you're my new hero.
I love your post!! Sometimes I feel like joining in with my kids and the screaming....the only problem is my MOOOOOMMMM is too far away and can't hear me. I am glad to know I am not the only one with "tough" days. I love your reminder that there is joy in responsibility. I logged on to the blogging world to escape my kids for a while. I now feel prepared to return to my mama responsiblities. Thanks.
love this post. i feel ya.

Coty, you are a wonderful mom, beautiful woman, and a really fun writer! I am not very tech savvy and just figured out how to leave a comment today. Ridiculous,I know. I am about to have my nest emptied, and I do feel sad that I'll not have them (all 6!)back in the same way. Enjoy the chaos!
