Day 12 of 31 Days of Motherhood: You Are Loved

I wasn't planning on writing today. I usually do my writing the night before and last night I was just miserable. I felt no inspiration and my week has been exhausting inside my own hell, which happens to be my head and my thoughts. This week, every day has felt like defeat. I began to think who am I to write on motherhood? I am severely wrecking my children {most likely} 

 The truth, yep I'm a mess. But there's grace. Even from my children. I will mess them up somehow. There's no way to get around it.

 I have no helpful tips today on how to make your life less chaotic, or awesome poetic words from me or someone else, but I do want you to know, even in all the messiness, when all you see is defeat, YOU ARE LOVED.

 You are loved by God. And your children adore you, never doubt that.

We are not part of his story and he is not part of ours

"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
