I miss my family a lot. I have been so bad at keeping in touch with my siblings and calling them frequently to see how they’re doing. I’m just bad at answering my cell phone period, I never seem to have the phone with me since I’m so busy holding Adalie or taking care of her or doing household chores so it’s usually stuck in a corner until I actually need to use the phone.

So my goal is to call the people I love more often. It doesn’t need to be long, for I usually cannot talk on the phone for a long time being a mommy and all, but just to see how they’re doing and what they’ve been up to.

Sometimes life takes you on a constant whim of daily tasks, chores and to-do lists that you forget what really matters at the end of the day. Sometimes I get so caught up in doing chores that I get annoyed when Adalie wants my attention and wants to play with me every 5 mins. but I have to remember that being a mother to her first is more important than folding laudry. So even though it might take(and it always does) a lot longer to get the job done, I’m getting the most important job done along with it, which is making sure my daughter smiles, laughs and feels loved by me. It’s amazing being a mother because you are forced to push all your needs and wants aside to accomodate another human being first. Everything I do is catered around her needs, wants and schedule instead of when I wasn’t a parent, I did everything I wanted to according to my own time and desire. I believe that God gives us families for a specific reason and that big reason is to shape and mold the parents the way God wants and intends us to be. And boy, I honestly cannot think of any other tasks or missions in life other than parenthood that will shape you and mold you as much. Before I got married, serving a LDS mission was the hardest thing I have ever done and I couldn’t imagine anything harder but being a mother has been a lot harder in so many ways. But I believe greater the cause, the greater the effort it requires. And I wouldn’t want any other job in this whole world. Adalie is my light.

Anywho those are my thoughts for the day. haha didn’t mean to get so serious. 😀
