a few thoughts..

i don't even know where to begin with this. i have felt stressed/annoyed and/or frustrated lately. so many little things, nothing really serious has befallen us. just the everyday little things. you know like money. 3 yr olds. what to get people for christmas. THE ELECTION. not being motivated. a new calling that will be more responsibility. baby fat{as in mine, not my baby's. seriously!? he's almost one..} my laundry has been never ending. i don't have enough time in the day. my house is cluttered. people who say they'll do something, and then don't. i mean seriously on and on. and i am so tired of it. i am so tired of being grumpy.
i need to look for the good. i really have so much to be grateful for. so i am done {or i will really try} with negativity. i am looking for the good.
we have been blessed with so much lately. just little things. things seem to just work out. and i know that Heavenly Father has been watching over us. he knows me and my family and our needs. they might not have work out according to our plans, but they work. i am so grateful for that. and i know i don't always show it, but it is something i am going to work on. that and patience. and faith. and charity.. wow i could go on and on..
i know i just need to relax. sit back and breathe. i don't need to stress about things out of my control. i have two beautiful, healthy, active boys that i love more then i could ever even attempt to explain. i married the perfect person for me. he is so good. he gets me and i love him so. we have a beautiful home, food to eat, so much.
so this month i am doing a daily post. each day will be something i am grateful for, something i want to remember, a way i have seen the Lord's hand in my life, etc.


so here goes. 1/30

he loVes me.

most my days seem the exact same. I also have a problem of griping. At least we can also recoginze what are blessings in our lives as well, so there may be hope for all us moms out there after all! :)

ok first, did you make that knome costume? that is the cutest thing ever!!!
i sat down yesterday and started a new post on the computer and actually ended up not finishing it but holy crap it was so similar to yours. I hate when i get stuck in ruts.
your beautiful, your boys are so cute and you don't need to lose any baby weight.
i can't wait to see your daily picture posts.

your post was so familiar to me... i can't remember if i had written a journal entry recently or was just feeling that way.

i read a pretty amazing book that pretty much changes your life and how you think. i will say it is very difficult to read. it's like c.s. lewis, where you read a sentence and realize you have no idea what you just read, so you read it a couple more times, and are still not sure what you've read?? haha. but i got the gist of it. it is something that i will need to read over and over.

if you haven't read 'as a man thinketh' READ IT! it is amazing.
