mom life

As the snow outside finally begins to melt, many people are excited for the return to normal life. However, this author is feeling quite the opposite. They express how they will miss the slow days, the time to relax and indulge in hobbies like puzzles, and the opportunity to cook full meals for their family. They reflect on how they didn't realize how much they were craving rest until they were forced to slow down. Now that the snow is melting, they are not ready to return to full schedules and are secretly hoping for another "weather" closure to enjoy one more day of peace. They are determined to hold on to the peace they experienced during the snowpocalypse as they navigate the journey back into the real world

Darcee climbed up and wanted to Snuggle. She sat there for several minutes.  Here is how our conversation wentDarcee- I needed this

A little humor from Darcee Darcee wanted some extra time on her electronics yesterday. My response to that was, empty and fill the dishwasher. And then we will talk. Darcee throws her ams up in the air and with a puff of frustration looks at me and says....

While cooking dinner tonight I burned the damn onions. Not because onions are hard to cook, but because I was trying to do too much at once. Sound familiar? While I was cooking the meat and heating up the veggies, I loaded the dishwasher and wiped down the counters. I can’t stand cooking in a cluttered kitchen. Everything was going well. 

In the last few minutes of the JV basketball game, Dante’s head hit the floor. Listening to him tell the story, he got body-slammed after a player from the other team got played out.  Sadly, the player decided to take his aggression out on Dante.The impact of his head hitting the floor was so loud- half the gym looked over at me to see how I would react. #mommabearAfter a second or two of laying on the floor, some of Dante’s teammates came and helped pull him back up. Needless to say, Dante was out for the remainder of the game. 

Are you seeking approval? Appreciation? Validation? Acceptance? Or confirmation? No matter your answer, rest assured that the more you fix your mind in what others think the further you go down the wrong path. At first the fame and glory from the outside may appear nice, but you are not living up to your fullest potential or desires. And the moment you begin to tap into the women you are supposed to be you will begin a journey on a lonely path trying to find your way back to yourself.

“There’s always a way . . . if you’re committed.” I love this quote from Tony Robbins, the bestselling author of Unlimited Power. It gives us hope for a bigger, brighter future. But it also comes with a warning: you gotta stay on task. If you’ve been following my posts recently, you’ve already decided what you want in life . . . and you’ve researched the steps to get there.  

We need to change the way we view asking for help. This topic was sparked off of a conversation with a teenager who needed to ask for help to do something.Back story a piece of paper needed to be taken into a building and they didn't feel comfortable doing it. My suggestion was why don't you ask Jill to do it.
