A hot cup of pumpkin spice latte on cold rainy day

So really this post doesn't have a lot to do with Pumpkin Spice Latte's but more so the feeling of having a a HOT CUP OF PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE ON A COLD RAINY DAY.
There are times in life when things are just chaotic. No matter how hard you try to keep things organized or keep control of it all, it just spins out of control.Nothing goes as you planned.
Or maybe something happens in the day when it causes your heart to ache just a little. Maybe your feelings are hurt or you read something that hurts you, and the one thing you need is something nice and hot to warm your soul. Does that make sense? Sometimes all you need is something small to put that smile back on your face.
For me it's receiving a snotty nose kiss from my little boy. Or a giant hug from my big girl. Or the twinkle I see in my little babies eyes as she gives me her biggest smile. These are some things that changes the condition of my heart, the expression on my face. I love getting a nice hot cup of Pumpkin Spice Latte but nothing warms my soul, like my children and their love.
HOWEVER nothing throws my day off more than my children either. Telling my 6 year old to focus on her school work, sit right in your chair, get that out of your mouth, 20 times within 30 minutes can be aggravating. When Joey decides to cry at every little thing or freaks out whenever his cousins do something that HE doesn't like can ruffle my feathers just a little. And then there is dear sweet Ellie. She is great. Except she is mobile and loves to get into everything and put everything in her mouth. I know she's a baby but it's just one more thing that can make things spin out of control.
(One more however) HOWEVER, I need to be more resilient. I can't let these minor things throw my day into a whirl wind. I know there will always be days when I want to jump out the window, but you know what? That's okay, because who doesn't have those days? I think I would also like to remember that I can affect the kind of day that my children are going to have. If I want them to learn how to be in control of their emotions then I need to learn how to be in control of mine. Easier said than done, I know. But I have to keep it in mind and I have to keep working at it. And while I keep at it, could someone please bring me a Hot cup of Pumpkin Spice Latte? :)
