Winning is not about headlines and hardware [medals]. It's only about attitude. A winner is a person who goes out today and every day and attempts to be the best runner and best person they can be! Winning is about struggle and effort and optimism, and never, ever, ever giving up.

You're Gonna Miss This...

Whenever I vent and complain about my current motherhood trials and drama to my daddy, he comes back with the line, "You're gonna miss this!" There are times when I have been talking to him that I have thought, "Nope, not at all!!" I am not going to miss the tantrums, the yelling, the fighting, the diapers and all the mess that comes with them, the potty training and the mess that comes with that....but then I get the moments that I will most definitely miss. There are the snuggling moments, and the sweet moments that I witness between my children.

When most people see me and my gang, I get a few funny looks, some stares and then the occasional...."are they all yours?" Yes, they are all mine and I love them dearly, yes we were maybe a little crazy to have 4 within 4 years and 3 days, but they are here now and we wouldn't trade it for the world!! My saving grace is that they get along extremely well with one another! Yes, we have our fighting and bickering....but when they play, they play really well together. They help each other and they love each other so much you can't help but smile!! Our life is crazy and a little hectic, but here....we are in our own little corner of heaven!
