Well, I have not been on for some time....I wonder why??!! Maybe it is because I have 3 kids and by the end of the day I am DONE...d.o.n.e. I do love being a mom-even the bad stuff I can manage....I did not say well, but I do manage. Yes, I can admit (quietly) that I take on too much. In my head I can do all these things and accomplish so much-when the day is done and I ahve gotten barely half done I am bummed. Tonight when talking with my wonderful husband I finally realized I am constantly setting myself up to fail. I don't do all that I do for anybody-I am NOT out to impress. I could care less what others think-if I am up to par or not. At the end of the day I need to be able to rest at night(not sleep, rest). With that being said....here is to a new season of taking on less.
Tonight before bed Chiara looked at me and told me I was the best mom....I'll take it. A good day is measured by the amount of joy we have when we go to bed...Chiara made sure to fill my tank! Good kid!
I have yet to get a post about Disney Land.....I may not get to it. Sorry. I am planning school and getting ready for our trip out east. So much planning....
Enough from me for now.....

Ah Jen, You are a wonderful mommy. I am so glad to know you. I love that you tell it like it is and you stay honest. That's what makes you a great person & a great blogger. I think a lot of us mommy's feel that way. Setting our selves up for failure cause we load more than whats humanly possible to finnish in a day onto our plates. And we beat ourselves up for not getting it all done. My hubby told me not to loose sight of why I am home. He said you are home for the girls. You don't need to have everything perfect when I get home. As long as there is something to eat and you girls have all had a good day, then I am happy.
ReplyDeleteLove you Jen! Praying God gives you the rest a busy mommy needs. Have a great trip east! Praying for Safe Travels.
