So I'm sitting here at the table eating a cheeseburger and animal fries, and had an "aha-moment".. I was kind of thinking some grumpy thoughts when it dawned on me... If the worst part about my day is that I had to waste gas driving around town putting my kids to sleep then I'm having a pretty damn good day.
How could I complain? I'm driving in a comfortable jeep with the A/C on, singing along to my Luke Bryan CD and ordering French fries and a chocolate frosty.... What is wrong with me?! I've been in such a funk lately, and I need to get out of it. (Maybe I should have stuck to my whole30?)
Well this is my public proclamation that I am going to work on this horrible attitude and thought process of mine the second I get frustrated! Yes, being a mom of two little ones is extremely tiring. Did I mention I slept holding the baby last night because he refused to stop crying over his teeth? Yeah, let me repeat myself. I'M SO TIRED. But- that is no excuse to be all "woe is me" and complain all day to myself.
Let's talk about THE GOOD part of my day instead! I got around 10 banners prepped for my etsy! All that I need to do Is string and photograph them! I also taught Opal how to say, "sister!" She also helped me with Oliver while he did tummy time. That little dude wants to crawl already, I swear!
So moral of this post is:
Be entirely grateful for the things you have, the things you've accomplished, and the love your children have for you even when it feels like you're being tortured by their want of your affection and attention.
The rest can wait.
Xox, Chels.
