from gym to kids

I just got back from the gym, and I'm supposed to be high from endorphins, right? But my kids start fighting, and the endorphins run out of the door faster than I can. So I'm going to put on Adele, shower and try to think of something good about my children. Let's see:
  • I have four beautiful, individual creatures from my womb who still shelter near me
  • They have strong sibling rivalry, but that will help them to be go-getters when they're older
  • From experience, they should end up best friends like me and my siblings
  • When they think I'm not paying attention, I catch them playing together creatively - without plugging into tv, games or computer
  • Other people compliment me on the behavior of my kids (?) which always catches me by surprise, pleasantly.
That's all I can think of so far. I've got that dried-sweat feeling on my skin. I shouldn't even be touching my computer. Hello, shower.

    Love your attitude there. May your shower be hot and flowy and wet and massaging.

    You have great, great kids. Granted, we haven't met the last one but I'm sure Miss Ruby is just as fantabulous as the rest. :-)

    I had a similar experience a week or so ago driving home alone from a workout class (Ben had picked the boys up), when I got a phone call from a friend on the way home. I sat in my driveway in the car for like 20 minutes enjoying the conversation, because I knew that the second I opened our front door it would be time to be "on" in Mommy mode again and I just.wasn't.ready.yet.
