Between being a stay at home mom and the obvious anxieties that come with this beautiful job of being a MOMMY....come all of the "IN BETWEEN"duties that absolutely cannot be avoided! Moms out there know exactly what I'm talking about.... for example:
Just when I think I'm on a roll gett'n projects done today, my twins spill their baggie of cereal on my carpet, jumping and crushing the cereal all over the living room floor, so I stop what I'm doing, go and get the vaccum only to come back and find that they have gotten into the box that I just packed that was full of "ART SUPPLIES:....they found the brightest cherry red marker and drew on my freshly painted walls....
I go to get the can of paint...but I end up slipp'n on the kitchen floor on some wet spot from who knows what?...I'm thinking I can get my to do list done, before my other 4 kids get home from school...so I open my notebook that has my list of jotted down reminders and realize it's 1p.m. and I didn't even get ONE thing done off of that list, because of all the in betweenZ that takes place throughout my day!!!
I started to realize that even if I didn't get the things I wanted to finish done today, I always have tomorrow to do it...so instead of stressin myself out and having an anxiety attack, I chose to go outside and watch my kids run around outside with their friends in the cul de sac...and as I watched them laughing and enjoying themselves, I remembered how carefree I felt at their age, it made me smile and feel so much more relaxed in my crazy moments of moving!
Pure Aha moment.....
