Patience is....

• going with the flow when your kids decide sleeping at the same time is not ok.
• in the middle of the night laughing not crying when the baby wakes and makes the older sister cry and continually waking each other until both collapse from exhaustion. 
• realising that dust bunnies under the lounge isn't going to be cleaned any time soon.
• Have a BIG sense of humour
• the washing pile is never going to be small again and I'll never catch up with it.
• generally not fun.
• smiling when the kids are screaming in the car.
• seeing the funnier side of life when everything is crazy.
• accepting sometimes you can''t control everything.
• taking small steps.
• hope in yourself.
• a day at a time, or divided into hours and minutes in our household. 
• The most important for me is learning to love each season of life you are in even if there are challenges.
