“Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.”

C. S. Lewis

This morning I woke up to an 8-year-old using my butt as a pillow, a 5-year-old with freakishly long legs casually strewn across our king size bed like she owned it and a dog nudging my arm with his wet nose to get my attention – and somewhere through this repeated reprise of yesterday was my husband, inching his way out of the bed in an attempt to start his day

But it’s not like I ask for the uncomfortable holding on to the edge of the bed kind of nights but I don’t fight them.
