Wednesday wasn’t the best day for me. I know you shouldn’t react to situations but instead act upon it and you have the choice to be in a bad mood or not, yaddi yaddi yadda, but it’s so hard to be in good spirits when your babies drive you crazy. They were fussy, whiny, crying every 20 mins., then making each other cry and all over again. All day long. I think Ana is getting her molars so lately she’s been more fussy. It was those days when you can’t even hear your own thoughts let alone have any time to think ANY thoughts!
So when Jay came home from work I was not in the best mood. He asked me how my day was and my exact reply was, “It’s one of those days where I HATE being a mother. The grass on the other side looks SOOOOOOOOO much greener right now.” Hahaha, what can a man say to that? But he made me feel better within minutes and I was all better again. Oh those 0.1% moments of motherhood where you hate your job! And you envy all your friends without kids who get to do whatever THEY want all the time!
But yesterday was a great day. And almost everyday is. And just because that 0.1% is really hard doesn’t rob away from the other 99.9% but instead makes you appreciate those great days so much more. And on those days I take a lot of pictures. I think it’s because when I take a picture and look at it, it seems as if the world’s at a pause, silent, peaceful. And I realize there’s beauty all around me even during chaos. Yes, even in my kids too.
I’m not the only mother that hates it once in a small while right? If I am, then I would feel really really guilty…
Ha. I'm sure all mothers feel that way at some point. But I gotta tell ya, those of us without kids definitely don't get to do whatever we want all the time! Grass is always greener, that's for sure.
true, grass is always greener on the other side right? but DO enjoy your time while u don't got kids because you will definitely get a LOT LESS time for yourself. 🙂
