My kids are my Emmy!

When I hear people say they are blessed, it reminds me of someone winning an Emmy and saying "I want to thank God and my family". It all seems superficial.

But, then there are days like today when I realize how lucky I am to have a job, able to take online classes for my masters, and have a wonderful family.

Tonight I was online for my class and could not tuck the kids in. After I logged off from class, my routine usually consists of going into their rooms, covering them up, kissing them, and taking a minute to appreciate how lucky we are to have them in our lives. Yes, even though the house is like a circus and I feel my time with them is all about saying no and yelling...

But tonight I did not see Chloe in her room. She snuck into Stephens room to cuddle and they fell asleep. I took this picture to capture the moment. It's not as cute as the real thing, but will help me remember no matter how much they fight, they love each other.

So now I understand what feeling blessed is like. Now if only I could win an Emmy!
