Tomorrow is always new with no mistakes in it. . . Yet.
I love the wee hours of the morning when everyone is still asleep and all the house is quiet. At that time of day, all is right with the world and the day has so much potential. It is then that I make my "to do" list for the day. I always think that I will be able to do everything that I put on the list. I have such visions of idealism that I am certain nothing will interrupt "the list", everything will go smoothly and everyone will cooperate. I believe this every time even though the last time I had a day like that was back in 1993 B.C. (Before Children) I have all these grand illusions of what my day will be like and how successful I am going to feel. Then it is time to get everyone up and have breakfast, and about the third time I have to say, "Eat," I realize that I never should have gotten out of bed.

SOOOOO True! I do this at night once the kids are in bed, the dishes are done and the toys are put away. Anything is possible in that still, quiet respite. I feel like I'm actually in command of my own life. Then the kids wake up the next morning and prove what a ridiculous idea that is!!
Don't you love it though . . . no matter how crazy the day, we can still find that renewed optimism for the next day - that's God's real gift to moms - selective memories and blind optimism!! (Oh yea, and our kids!)
