Chaos

This past week has been the most chaotic of my life.  It started with really insignificant inconveniences- the side of my car being backed into, a flat tire on Mate's car, travel delays, one too many things to accomplish.  It's ending with something far more significant-something that has rocked our family at its core.  As we process some unexpected news, I find myself torn between two completely different worlds.  I've got one foot in the sunshine, butterflies and rainbow world that is appropriate for three young girls and another in the sometimes, heart-breaking real world.  It's a tough place to be . . .

Despite it all, there are so many reasons to smile
