In the midst of all this we've also been potty training, and that's always fun. Despite it all, I love her to pieces and melt when she wraps her arms around me and says.. " I wuv you mommy"!

- Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

A two year old makes a big change in family dynamics
The week before Mother's Day I felt stressed more than usual and honestly, really grumpy. I was a referee much more than I wanted to be and felt like I wasn't even close to having things together. After a breakdown and a lot of tears, I wanted to figure out what the deal was. I wanted to blame it on my pre-menstrual mood. (It could of very well been that it may have played a part in the drama.) I wasn't coping well and it was driving me crazy. Fast forward to this week. I'm sick, but, I've been able to slow down and think about what the difference is. My baby!!! She is not a baby anymore. She is now a little sister and her big sister and two big brothers can vouch for that. In a number of days she is switched from cute little baby sister to a teasing, temper tantruming, tumultuous, two-year old. Her nursery leader confirmed my discovery on Sunday when she told me that my darling girl transformed to the nursery bully.
In the midst of all this we've also been potty training, and that's always fun. Despite it all, I love her to pieces and melt when she wraps her arms around me and says.. " I wuv you mommy"!

I know I said I was not blogging until I get back, but I can't help myself. This post is sad and sweet and funny all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteSad because you were having such a rough time last week. I hope that this week leaves you feeling better both emotionally and physically.
Sweet because that little girl is such a cutie! It's amazing how fast these little angels can transform from angels to devils then back to angels again!
Funny because I think we all can relate so well to this!
I hope you're having a great week!!
Love the tub picture! I hear you on being overwhelmed and grouchy. I'm there right now. I'm hoping it's just a 'mood' that will pass in a week or so :) I'm ready to be competent again!
ReplyDeleteI think it's safe to say all moms know what you mean. My baby is 4 now. When she bumped her head today and came crying and running to me for kisses and hugs to make it feel better, I got emotional holding her, because I kept thinking that before I know it she won't want me to kiss her and make it better. Why do they have to grow?
