but all she wants to do is snuggle up with them all and never let them go?
It's 11am and your kiddos are chasing each other through the house while you're trying to fix lunch and nurse a head ache. Do you ever wish that they could just skip lunch and go straight to nap? I do.
It's 10pm and your kiddos are in bed. Do you ever wish you could go into their room and snuggle them without waking them up? I do. I want to right now!

When I hear about little girls (boys too, but lately all have been girls) in need of prayer for various illnesses or situations, it makes me want to hug and kiss my sweet girls and thank God that (for all I know) they are healthy. Unfortunately, I tend to hear these stories during my free-time-- after the girls are in bed; hence my problem with wanting to cuddle them. I can't wake them up because my pregnancy hormones have made me a complete mush and I need a little cuddle fix. And it doesn't end there.
I've even been known to cry right in the middle of snack time recently because I was thinking of a three-year old with cancer. Not that this isn't very sad, but usually I can reserve some private time to think about , cry, and pray for her. Now my three-year old knows that when I cry, those are "mommy's happy tears." That's what I call them because I'm awful at hiding them and I don't want her to worry.
So, I'll head to bed with my empty arms so that I can wake to get lots of sweet hugs! Of course, come 1pm tomorrow, I'll be thankful that they are resting quietly so that I, too, can get a little rest!
