A good laugh is better than medicine

So you know as a parent when you feel over worked? For me it isn't so much the physical aspect that makes me tired. My exhaustion comes mentally. Kids just sometimes make you tired and sometimes cause you to go a little batty. And it seems when you have gotten kind of spent something funny will happen and it all seems to go away for awhile. Well today I had a pretty good laugh.

A couple of days ago the older boys were playing boxing on the Wii. They were really getting into it and they were getting hot so they took off their shirts. Well Ethan wanted to play boxing and so he got it all ready and he was playing with Mayah. I could hear them from the other room. SO I walked in to see if they were able to get it all set up. They had already played a couple of matches. This is what I walked in on......now if that doesn't make you laugh. Even my daughter took off her shirt. Thankfully she is still young to where it didn't bother me. I thought it was hilarious. I guess the game of boxing involves no shirt and alot of sweat. I needed that laugh. I am still laughing. It may not be funny to someone else. But I think if we look we can find many funny things that our kids do or say. I think I need to look for more of the simple and cute things my kids do. I believe that if we take the time we can enjoy so much that is happening around us that it makes us happier and able to cope more with the stresses of our day. I think Heavenly Father always comes to my rescue when He knows I need it.
