What a wonderful way to start the day! The 5 yo was singing her ABC's, and her little brother (aka the 2yo) was "singing" right along with her. It's those moments you cherish as a mom! Then, as I was walking the 5yo to her kindergarten class, she said "Mommy, (the 2yo) needs a girlfriend." I told her he was just a little too young for that, and had plenty of time.
My biggest gripe of the day is scheduling. I hate schedules, but even more I hate it when someone screws mine up (when I must have one). Like Dr.'s offices. They think our lives revolve around them, and we can change our plans at a moments notice just to see them! I have left Dr.'s because of this. When you make arrangements 3 times in a little over a month to leave work to go for a physical and the Dr.'s office calls that morning (not even giving the 24 hours notice that they require) and cancels and asks you to reschedule, you get a little fed up. They expect you to pay your copay if you miss the appointment, or cancel in less than 24 hours. I think they should have to pay their patients for the inconvenience they cause!
Let's see...what else am I thinking of today...
Seems to me, that here lately I have been relying a lot on God to carry me through. Fear, stress, worry, sadness, anger...those emotions really get a person down. Sometimes you just get to the point to where you get down on your knees and say "God, I need your help. Please help me get through this!" And, lo and behold, things start improving. A sense of calm returns, and you see signs that He is listening, and is helping you.
We all need help with something, at some point in our lives. The hardest part is stepping back, letting go, asking for and accepting help. You have to do it every once in a while, or you will lose your mind. I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid.
I may be Southern, but I am an intelligent, competent woman and a damn good mother! I may not be the best wife in the world, and I am not perfect at anything by any means, but I do what I do well, and I try my hardest. That's all anyone can expect out of life.
