Weekly Quote

"You will experience great joy in life as you eradicate adult-onset pessimism and substitute childlike optimism."

Here is to a new year of being more optimistic and more like my amazing children. They teach me everyday about how to be better.

Fun when Stress was abundant...

We have been trying to buy a home! I know, really big step for us. It's a long story but it has been full of lots of stress. And what added to it was the fact that our current landlord decided to put the home we live in for sale the moment we told him we wouldn't be renewing our contract with him. So we had to make sure the house was perfect for photos and for Realtor visits. We've had 3 visits in a week. Our house isn't dirty it's just full of clutter, seeing I have two small children. And of course they give us like an hour, if that, of a notice.

And I seem to be salsa for mosquitos here in TN because I get a few new bites every day. Even if I don't go outside, just taking out the garbage or running errands. I think I just need to marinate myself in DEET to keep them off during these months. I think Matt's had two and Joshua has had one. I hate itching and have started stalking up on Benadryl and hydro-cortizone cream. Great stuff!

But this morning when I was working out my boys decided they needed to join in. They usually join in when I do yoga but this time was hilarious! They insisted on laying down and doing crunches with me. We laughed so hard! Then we danced to some angry girl music, as Matt would call it, and all was well again.

Being a mother is sometimes insurmountable, but sometimes it really just make me smile and helps me realize how grateful I am to have these little munchkins. I love these boys!
