Some days with children just do not…
Well, nothing gets done…
Nothing goes as I planned…
And I can get all flustered and frustrated…
But the truth is if I focus on what my kids and why they are acting crazy. If I stop to figure out what they need and adjust to be a mom who is excited about their energy and not frustrated by it, we can have a really fun day!
Some days my problem is…
I have a pet peeve about dishes in the sink.
I don’t like it.
It bothers me.
They call to me.
They tell me evil things about how bad of a wife and mom I am.
Really, REEAAALLLYYYY…. Don’t like it.
(Confession: Just because it is a pet peeve, doesn’t mean that there are never dirty dishes in the sink. It just means I hate it.)
Some days I need a reminder…
There will always be dishes to wash.
There will always be floors to mop.
There will be another load of laundry to do.
But, there will not always be little boys who want to play in tents in your living room.
“CHEESE”
“Get that ball, MOM! No, The blue one!”
Jordan thought the tunnel was amazing!
(And as you can see, he is going through a close your eyes and smile phase…. Too cute)
“Mom, if I throw this at your head, will you get mad?”
“BEST MORNING EVER!!!!!!!!!”
I needed the reminder that my “TO DO” list is not more important then my babies.
My house still will get clean.
(As clean as it can with 3 kids and 2 dogs)
The laundry will eventually get done.
(For maybe all of two seconds)
And those dishes… Well, they are just dishes.
(Be QUIET Dishes! I’m busy!)
My boys…
Well, they may want to build tents and crawl in tunnels today.
And I can’t miss out on that!
