Perfectly Imperfect

Have I ever mentioned how crazy my life is?

I'm absolutely sure that we have had friends and family members looks at us and think "they are crazy!  Why would they decide to have 4 kids?"

Yeah. We're not that family that you see out in restaurants, with 4+ kids all sitting quietly, coloring while they wait for their food to arrive. We're the family that is loud and crazy.

But lately, I've been feeling that my life is perfect the way it is.

We have lots of bad things happen EVERY SINGLE week. Not life ending, but certainly BAD. I have 1 young adult, 2 teenagers, and 1 tween. And they don't always make the best choices. But neither does my husband and I. And that can certainly create some drama and heartache.

But with a few years of practice under our belts, I'm learning to roll with the hard times. They are just a part of our life.

As are the good times. Which happen EVERY SINGLE week also. The times when we are all together and laughing and joking and loving and being crazy.

And even though my family is flawed, and we have not been perfect parents, I think our life is pretty good!

We're perfectly imperfect.
