We did our Thanksgiving turkey dinner today in the hopes that tomorrow could be restful. The food was really good, but the day and especially the dinner were very trying. Some days just feel like every moment is a battle. Every minute, a toddler is either breaking something, making an epic mess, teetering on the edge of danger, banging his head on the floor in frustration (which is now Brendan’s thing), or just plain having an all out meltdown.

I am grateful for my family, even on days that they push me to my limits. Even though it was utter chaos, I am glad that we were able to sit at the table together and have a traditional meal. <\/p>\n

We are sorry that Gramma is still so sick, and we hope things start to turn around soon. Feel better!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
