Last week was a long one. I felt totally overwhelmed, completely tired, and so inadequate. Eric's schedule was less than ideal. The boys didn't see him from Tuesday to Friday; and I hardly saw him myself. I let my emotions get the best of me and my patience was lacking.

Motherhood is hard sometimes.

Thank goodness for new weeks and fresh starts. Thank goodness for sweet boys who remind me to be happy and let go of things that just don't matter. Thank goodness for inspired words that help keep things in perspective.

Life is good, and it's always better to look up.

Sad that I missed out on Skype today. Our days have become completely unpredictable with Andrew home this week. As much as I love having him around, he really messes up my schedule. ;); October 25, 2011 at 11:38 PM

savanna said...: Motherhood IS hard! The amazing thing is that every mother relates to those emotions, but not having your husband around during those times makes it that much harder! Thank goodness for fresh starts! Hope everything is going well!; October 26, 2011 at 3:21 PM
joyce said...: You have a right to be a little grumpy!!! It is okay to turn on a movie and let things go! You are a great mom...with adorable BOYS! These pictures of Jake are sooooooo cute! He is his own little man....a good mix of both Sam and Max. Now...hire a baby sitter for just a couple hours...go for a little walk, then to TJ Maxx, and then get a large diet Coke....you will feel a lot better...I know!! Hang in there sis! xoxoxo; October 26, 2011 at 5:21 PM
