Moms of 3

How do you do it?

When things were going well, and my kids decided to behave and play well and eat their food, I thought I had figured it out!

But then the last 5 days hit. Daddy was gone a lot. Baby hit a growth spurt and was CONSTANTLY hungry. The two year old learned to hit and he does it a lot. And the 4 year old realized that mom can’t discipline while nursing the baby.

Motherhood is such a rollercoaster. Somedays I just can’t believe how truly incredible my kids are! Seriously, they have hearts of gold and just exude love and kindness and helpfulness.

And then all of a sudden (like the last few days) they are something else.

Today I crashed, emotionally. So, I took myself on a date. Just before dinnertime I handed the baby over to daddy and drove away, not really sure where to go but knowing I needed something.

Roaming the aisles of Hobby Lobby, dreaming of all the things that I would love to have, I tried to be inspired by all the sayings they have on their decor.

It didn’t take long before I realized I wasn’t actually feeling all that inspired, because when I though about what things would FIT in our house, I realized nothing did today. Do we feel “so very blessed” or do we “choose joy?”

I would love to say yes. But today I didn’t. Today I got angry. I yelled. I slept. I didn’t make breakfast or dinner. Each time I looked at one of those signs my eyes rolled just a little bit.

However! The signs that stood out to me the most said “Let’s Stay Home.”

And even after this no-good, terrible, very bad, bad day, that sentiment is one I feel in my soul!

I love my home. I know my family loves our home. Being with them is still the best place I want to be!

So tomorrow will be better. I know it will.
