Just when I am ready to throw in the towel...

This week has been a pretty crazy week for me.  I think life has kicked in full swing at the Frye house. From kids with strep throat to meetings for church, calls from Emmalies teacher saying I need to help her out with her spelling and definitions, hot lunch for school, a few nights to get out of the house without kids and this just in, Gabe just threw up! I also had to fight with Ella to go to school, fight with Olivia to get her homework done all the while trying to be the best mom that I can be at this time of my life. I know I am forgetting a lot of things, but I think you can catch my drift. Anywho, just when I am about to throw in the towel,  I had a sweet mom come up to me this week at school while I was helping out with school pictures (oh add that to my list) and tell me how sweet my girls are.

Ella has her days with going to school, some days she goes right in with a smile and other days well, lets just say they are not too fun. Anyway a mom from the kindergarten class came up to me and told me that one day when Ella was not too happy my older girls were trying to get her to go to class. They were so kind and nice and held her hand while they brought her in. They helped her with her backpack brought her to her seat and gave her a hug goodbye. How sweet is that, I wanted to cry. She also said that one of my girls a little later came back and popped her head in to check in on her. I really wanted to cry after she told me that. I guess their motherly instincts are starting to kick in already. 

I took this picture on the first day of school and this totally fits the story above. It is hard for me to believe that the first quarter is coming to an end. I think if I look ahead 15 years from now when my house is quiet and clean I will be missing the days when my life was hectic and crazy and wishing I had these days back again.
