it depends on the minute

I seriously feel like my life can change in a minutes time.  We could be having the best time and then all the sudden everything crashes and the day takes a u-turn.  Sometimes it's more gradual but usually it's just like BAM and rattles my world.

Today we were having a pretty good morning, and Mack started to get a little naughty so I knew I needed to get him out of the house, so I popped him and Ruby in the stroller and headed down the street so I deliver something to a friend.  Next thing I know Ruby is screaming and is pretty ticked to be in the stroller.  It was so frustrating.  I just wanted to enjoy a little peaceful walk and I couldn't even get a block!.  So I sat and bounced her on the side of the street until she calmed down enough for me to push her.  Eventually she fell asleep and stayed asleep until we got back home.

Once we were home I got the sprinklers going and Mack just played.  It's amazing how well he can entertain himself outside with hardly anything to do.  I brought the exersaucer outside too and Ruby played in there for almost a hour.  Then we got everyone ready for naps and now it is peaceful!  I'm learning to embrace these peaceful moments because they seriously can change so quickly.

I want this blog to be a place where I can write down the good and the bad so I can remember both.  It's not always going to be perfect but it's the hard that makes the good so good.  I probably wouldn't have enjoyed my time outside with my two kids as much had it not been a little frustrating beforehand.

PS Mack turns two tomorrow!
