There are moments in life where you just have to stop and
smell the proverbial roses. It happened this morning. As I was stumbling around
the house after being up what seemed like 10 times in the night to attend to a
sleep deprived little man.
He is mine. All mine. And despite all the wretched shit
going on in our lives right now, and the lives of those that we absolutely love,
we are absolutely blessed beyond belief. To be able to call my Husband MINE. To
be able to come home at night and snuggle with the most incredibly delicious 2
year old I know. He’s ALL MINE. To be able to open my refrigerator, pour myself
the largest glass of cold Pinot Grigio. FABULOUS. To be able to get up and go
to a job that I do love and that actually appreciates me. BLESSED. To be able
to have such good friends that recognize the stress in our lives, so much so
that they offer to babysit on a Tuesday night so that you can reconnect for one
solid hour with your husband? ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS.
I know this little old blog gets its fair share of bitching.
And complaining. And it probably gets really fucking old. Really. I mean, how
many times do you want to hear me complain about how tired I am? Or how I am
sad because Ryan married that asshat. Or how I had to make an emergency trip to
Publix because the box ran dry? Or how I
am scared to death that my son will not remember his grandfather. Or how I feel
like I am failing as a mother?
Hard to smell the roses when poop is far more potent. You
know what I mean? What I’m saying is, thanks for listening to my asinine
stories. And thanks for your support. And thanks for giving me the swift kick
in the ass (Stephanie via IG) for trying to make me think of the positives. I
promise to shit rainbows today instead (no promises for tomorrow though, okay?)…

I feel ya. That is why every Friday all I post about is puppy dogs and rainbows. They help me look back at the good when times are tough.
If you always posted about the good times, then you'd never remember how and when God got you through all the tough times!!! That's what I love about your blog, your real when it comes to the good and bad!! Xo

Stephanie!? That's me. I keep telling you to keep your head up. It's going to get better. I know how hard it is and how easy it is to complain (that was us last year) but just know that your Dolls, family and friends are were for you 100%.
