Today was a rough one...

Today was rough.  Some days Claire and I just don't click... at all.  Today was one of those days.  We fight like sisters and that's hard.  I don't really know, because I don't have a sister but I imagine that this might be what it feels like.  It's wild because she goes from this...

To this...

She's four.  Why do I feel so defeated???  She's FOUR!

And then I have this other crazy little lady.  

Who goes from this...

To this...

To this!!!

Faye and I don't fight as much but she is still a handful.  She's my crazy one but she's also waaay more sensitive so she actually listens a little bit because she doesn't like to be in trouble.  

Oh these girls.  Holy Moly!  I'm tired!!!

And it's been awhile so here are some pictures just for fun...

Yesterday was my beautiful mothers birthday so our family went to the Santa Barbara Zoo then out to lunch!  We had a great time!  The weather was perfect!

Faye is super into this lately.  She loves thumbs up, peace signs...

And proof that my hair is finally growing and that I'm figuring out how to style it!  

 

And last but certainly not least.  The best part of my day today.  Putting this stuff together.  This is a picture of the things we are sending to our baby boy and his foster mom at the end of September.  Our agency is going over to Korea so they're going to bring our stuff over and hopefully get new pictures and videos of our little man!!!  I CANNOT EVEN WAIT!!!

So today was just one of those days.  I'm worn out.  And after I finish this blog I'm going to clean my house for an hour then go to bed.  Nothing is ever done around here.  But really quick I'll say that even though today felt horrible I had peace.  I ran and prayed.  I'm realizing that when I have these days I can't pray for God to take them from me.  I can only pray that he'll help me have the strength to change my attitude and to see the good in my life.  And when I willingly accept his peace and joy, only then will my attitude change.  He won't force anything on me... even his peace.  I'm almost thirty and just now figuring this out.  Wow.
