A week ago the children were fighting, being unreasonable, and yelling. I looked at my exasperated wife and said, "20 years from now we would do almost anything to have even this moment back". She agreed and we laughed.

So true. I read a blog post a while back where a woman was feeling overwhelmed while dealing with her cranky kids in the parking lot of a grocery store, when an older woman walked up and said that she would give anything to have another day like that with her own children.

Talk about heart-breaking.

My days of waking up and thinking "what's the f-ing point?" are over.
