This has been an emotional week. I always feel like the week before Mother’s Day is a nightmare of stress. I had quite a few bad moments this week involving other moms and sometimes I just wanted to say, “Now can’t we all just play nice!” Maybe something was just off in the universe and I got slammed with some negative energy, but there was plenty of good stuff too. I hope you all had an awesome Mother’s Day. We are going to rock this week!
This week I learned that:
10. we are our own worst enemy. ( The games that we play in our heads are far worse than what’s actually happening.)
9. “busy” in an excuse. ( I really hate it when someone tells me that they are busy. Aren’t we all? It’s called life.)
8. those that we envy usually have less than we do. (Yes, yes, yes, it’s true.)
7. just being there for someone is enough some times. ( We don’t have all the answers and we don’t have too. Lending an ear to listen is worth more than bad advice.)
6. when things get tough I want to quit and just clean my house. (At least it’s something I can control right? If you’ve been over and see my house you’ll realize I haven’t quit anything- LOL!)
5. things aren’t always what they seem. ( I forget this all the time, but was painfully reminded this week.)
4. having a break from social media is something I need weekly. ( I wasn’t online most of Sunday and it was awesome. I need to do that more often. Oh and I wasn’t checking my phone either-nice.)
3. making change happen is powerful. ( Something was stuck, so I cut my hair and bought some new clothes. I feel like my old self again. Change is good.)
2. I prefer the Summer to Fall transition much better than the Spring to Summer. ( It’s still chilly, then it’s warm. I never know what to wear!)
1. my boys are always full of surprises. ( Just when I think I know what’s going to happen, something else does. They make me laugh and keep me on my toes. I’m proud as hell!)
Have an awesome week!

You should really start a little feature about what your kids say each week!

If you find cleaning therapeutic you are always welcome at my house! It’s super small so there is less to clean! ๐
