Wow..it has actually been 15 months since my last post--crazy...I vow to do better. I thought my life was busy crazy when I had newborn twins and a toddler. It seems that teenagers make for really busy days. Especially when they enjoy extracurricular activities. We go back and forth from basketball, tennis, Lacrosse, football, softball, volleyball, tennis and dance. (depending on the season). But, we LOVE it and we LOVE that our children LOVE it. Mom and dad even squeeze in some volleyball, basketball and raquetball when they can. :) (I actually only do the volleyball).
Motherhood gives me a lot of JOY. Okay..it also brings me a lot of moments where I feel overwhelmed and wondering why I don't have a CLONE. But, there is always "opposition in all things" right. So, when days are really hard..it is the days that I hear my children laughing and getting along that I sigh and think, "This is what it is all about. This is why we did this. "
I turned 42 this year and the older I get the more I realize how much I don't know and my perspective in life is changing. Things that used to bother me and I would have a good cry about or berate myself about for hours--tend to just roll of my shoulders. Example: Water spilled on our kitchen table during dinner and it got wiped up, however, there were hotpads on the table underneath the food and the dishes did not get done that night. I was too tired and I think it was my Little girls turn...hence Mommy's turn. Anyway, I wake up and start to conquer the kitchen. As I take the dishes off...I take off the wet hot pads and on our BLACK table there are 2 white spots. VERY WHITE. Usually, I would fret and get upset--but, what can I do. Wait and hopefully with time it will fade. Is it really going to effect me in the eternal scheme of life...NOPE. But, my attitude will.
It doesn't always work. There are still many times that I need to take a time out. Today in fact...but, I feel that as I increase in age that hopefully I am increasing in wisdom too.
