I was listening to this song by Christina Perri last night, and it got me all kinds of emotional. I just feel like so many women in my close circle of friends have had a rough go at life lately. So much is required and expected of us and yet we just endlessly and tirelessly go and go and go....until we fall down.
Isn't she beautiful?
We fail and feel guilty sometimes. I know I do. Yes, I like to have things perfect, but it just isn't realistic. Not always. Not forever. As someone who thrives on OCD tendencies it's a horrible little pill to swallow. I remember my Mom would tell me, "You can't keep this up forever. At some point when things get really busy in life, something will have to give." I didn't believe her when I was young, but of course I get it now. Per usual, Mom is right.
My house this morning has dead flowers, baskets of laundry, Lego Armageddon, and dishes from last night in the sink. I mean, I'm only human. :)
You are an AWESOME Mom for being only "human". Seriously. If you need a solo Target trip one night, call me. I will watch the babies. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWe can go on a hot date to Target TOGETHER! Daysen can babysit :) XOXO
DeleteI am always in awe of you. Whenever I just feel like I can't keep up with my housework (because I am lazy), I tell myself, "Lela can do it and she has FOUR boys!" I have seen your house "messy" and it looks pretty dang clean. You are amazing! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI just love you. I better get my butt in gear if I'm going to have my house clean before you arrive! MOTIVATION!!!! XOXO
