Some days I have zero patients. I feel like with this pregnancy I'm losing my patients with everything. Myself, My house(I gave up on picking up toys a month ago), Paul being done with school(couple more years), Living in a shoe box, Connly's little tantrums, mostly just everything it feels like. Sometimes I get stuck in a rut I guess you would call it. Its all about my attitude. I need an "attitude adjustment" like my mom use to tell us kids! I really feel like I need one. Starting today I'm going to be better! Take every day one at a time and not wish time away. These are the days we're going to look back and miss or laugh at(I've been told this many times). I just want to be better! I need to remember why we're really here and what our purpose here on earth really is. Life really is so good...Look at that smile. Love it more than anything!!
I read this on a blog and loved it so I had to share.
How To Really Love Motherhood.
Remember to breathe deeply & often.
Name those feelings as they fly through your heart.
When your children are beastly & scream I HATE YOU (and they will),
think of the warm sweetness of their tiny bodies when they were new.
This too shall pass & far too quickly.
Let the dishes pile up & have a party instead.
Laugh a lot.
Go puddle jumping & cloud busting.
Build forts & climb trees.
Spend rainy days in bed snuggling & sunny days outside adventuring.
Sing loudly & off key.
Dance like MANIACS.
Butterfly kisses & bear hugs cure broken hearts.
Tell them they can be anything.
Tell yourself too. Now believe it.
And don't forget to breathe.
