someone explain to me WHY when one thing goes wrong in my day, EVERYTHING from that point on ALSO goes wrong. seriously. it never fails to baffle me that all it takes is one spilled cup of tea, 2 pairs of "spit-upped" pant changes, and a set of lost keys to make me come unhinged.(this is todays example) i hate this about myself. i can physically FEEL my bloodpressure rising. why is it that somedays i just CANNOT roll with the punches as easily as other days? why is it that somedays no matter how hard i try to organize it, we cannot leave this house ON TIME-wearing clean clothes, with our hair combed and having bathed in the past 3 days? i always forget something on those days and have to throw together a mixmatched meal when J gets home because i cannot bring myself to drag the children to the groccery store AGAIN.
when the baby is cranky and the preschooler is whiney and the dog is barky... i have a hard time feeling like this is the job i was made for. i know it is in these hard days when i wanna cry and give up, that God is molding me into who he wants me to be. someone who is flexible. and patient. and loving. and hardworking. and who doesnt quit on the days when a weaker person might. this is my calling in life. at least right now. to be a fulltime mommy to my two little monkeys and show them what love is and what love does.
so i will refill the babies cheerios, scrub the stains out of the heap of laundry, mop up the spills, take the dog out for 8 millionth time and kiss my husband when he walks in the door because i LOVE them all. even on crappy days. (well minus the dog, who i tolerate on behalf of my daughter loves her.)

UGH! I"ve so been there! It's all about perspective and you're right - we have to just roll with the punches, and some days it's easier than others! sorry you've had a rough day! Know tomorrow hopefully will be a little better. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're the best momma for those 2 monkeys. :)
