A Mother’s Symphony

As I quickly re-applied mascara over yesterdays mascara and threw my hair into a ponytail for the day, I listened to what was a house quiet of children and here is what I heard… 

• Jared snoring in my bed
• the clock ticking next to me
• the washing machine making it’s rounds
• the dryer complimenting with buttons inside rhythmically tapping
• a dishwasher whirring softly
• Flapjacks paws ticking across the floor

A mother’s music.  So many times I have gone through my day stressed and trying to quiet the sounds of my family.  I should be leading them in song!  Directing and teaching.  Not shushing them. 

(Stay tuned for more on this subject night time- version, in a coming post.)
