When you know you have a wonderful husband, great kids, temple marriage, a fabulous home, and everything you had dreamed about during your childhood years and you find that you are miserable, something must be wrong. Just sayin.
When I hold myself accountable to my ideals of what a good wife, mother, person is, I will never catch up and therefore will always be miserable.
Prescription, I will continually try to re-evaluate my ideals so that they are (1) realistic (2) doable (3) I can meet them ....sound redundant, well that's just because you have to be when you are trying to change something.
Yesterday was a success because Porter made it to scouts, and many other reasons, but this was my main focus.
Today is already a success, I rose out of bed to Maddy screaming her head off at Porter, instead of yelling at Porter I called him up got the story, then went to work on Maddy. No Nonsense, no screaming, Maddy got her morning chores done and Porter felt validated and I could shower in peace. Lets see what else might be good today!
On the negative side, both girls woke up with fevers, I knew Haven wasn't feeling well, now Maddy. Sounds like a redbox day to me!!!!
