Tonight while I was making dinner I set off the smoke alarms again. I had to stand on a chair with a broom to silence the one on the vaulted ceiling in the kitchen.
The whole house smelled like burnt rice.
After dinner Hyrum asked me to come outside and pitch for him so that he could bat. He even offered to help clean up dinner so that we could spend time together. As I thought of the phrase "Choose the better part" I thought of how choosing Him means putting things that matter first. Knowing that dishes could be done later, I went outside and pitched for Hyrum and Joe.
Sonny acted as back catcher and outfielder. I had a bag of treats and he would drop the ball right at my feet. It was the best. He got some much needed exercise while I got some fresh air. The boys really enjoyed the extra quality time, it was much needed.
Life feels like it's flying by so fast these days. I thought I was busy when everyone was small and demanding, but I feel even more busy now with littles and driving big kids all over the place. Between friends places, birthday parties, music lessons, sports and field trips, it can be super overwhelming and hard to keep up a good routine at home. I hardly ever have time for myself and struggle to prioritize the things that matter most. The years are going so fast. I am glad that they need me though, even if it is exhausting and trying to fit it all in!
