Day in and Day out

Day in and Day out we do our duties as Mothers, we strive to make sure everything
Is done and done perfect the way we want it.  We tell our children that they need to clean
There rooms and do it the way we would do it.  We rush things and try to make sure that
Everyone is happy.  Our job never stops, we work so hard to make everything the way we
Want it.  In the midst of all that where was the Me time? It seems like all we here is Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom or Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, do this do that! STOP yes we need to be there for our children and family but always remember if you are not up to par than how can anything you do be up to par? Your kids will never be like you, they will never clean as you do or act as you do if they did we would still find something to say that it was not like what we would do.  We always seem to expect way to much, we seem way
To harsh, yes we need to be realistic kids will be kids but lets not rob them of their childhood with our childish selfish ways. If the house is messy than fine let it be, enjoy the moments in time that you get with your kids life is way to short to rush all the time and be drill sargents.  Yes at some point we will clean but don’t be so hell bent on having it done in a moments notice and don’t complain every time you turn around.  Tis the season for Family, Friends, Laughter, Joy and family will be there even if the house is a mess and so will friends if they are not than maybe they were not meant to be in your life in the first place.  So in saying this lets remember that it is ok to take a step back grow a back bone and realize that in order for you to flourish and recharge you need to stop and relax take a deep breath and let go.!
