It takes distance to appreciate how far you've come. I think that's the cruel reality of motherhood - you don't have the foresight to take in the beautiful moments because you're basically just trying to survive. But I feel you on the sick child thing. I lost my cool with my daughter last week when she was sick and I felt awful! I think I write these weekly inspirations for myself as much as anybody else. :) It’s hard to realize how precious the moments are when you’re up to your neck in it.

I'm ashamed to admit I even slammed doors with 2am sleep frustrations with my sick child. But you're right, it will get better and they grow up SO fast. One day, she won't need me anymore at 2am to wipe her snotty nose and entertain her because she can't sleep. And one day, that will be a sad thought. Thanks for the reminder :-) This has totally been me this week! I’m ashamed to admit I even slammed doors with 2am sleep frustrations with my sick child.
