Let's face it. The first few days of this "Challenge" aren't going to be too challenging...
Today I'm truly thankful for 6 beautiful people who give me my favorite title in life! They are messy (ok, they are downright slovenly), loud, needing to be fed every single darn minute, and are always in my space. But they are also the lights of my life.
As they get older, and are becoming "real" people with mature thoughts and feelings, I am constantly amazed at how much we can laugh (or cry) together. I might not always be the best mother: was it tonight at dinner that I yelled, "If you don't stop fighting I'm going to run away, and find another Abba and marry him and have NEW babies!!"? Or how about right before dinner, when BAW came home with N in tow whom he found outside a block away "Just walking the dog, Imma!"? But I digress...
What was I saying? Oh yes. I might not always be the best mother, but we've had some pretty good times, me and my 6 shining stars. I'm hoping this is just the beginning of those times.
And I know it's only Day 2, but out of everything in my life, I have to say that they are the best things that ever happened to me, and for them I am eternally grateful.

I'm grateful my uterus was chosen to continue the Pardo name! And for the product that came out! The last of his kind!
I missed your blog. I am thankful that it has been resurrected to remind me how to focus!
You have AMAZING kids, with most of the credit going to you and BAW.
You crack me up with your threats. I don't think they are worried :)
SaraK,
Halfway through my tirade I was laughing, and so were they, so I think they're going to make it...at least until their teenage years without needing extensive therapy...
