Let's start with the UPS:
1. I get to be called "mommy" or "mom" or "mama" or "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM"!
2. I have been entrusted to raise the three most perfect little people...
3. I get to share a bowl of cereal with Finn...he is just the perfect kid to share a bowl of cereal with.
4. I get to snuggle and have a conversation with Olivia. She asks AMAZING questions and comes up with AMAZING answers.
5. I get to chase and tickle Wyatt....but even more...I get to hear him giggle. :-)
6. I get to be a child all over again...( seriously, one of the best parts of being a parent).
Now the DOWNs:
1. Discipline :-(
2. Losing my temper
3. Yelling
4. Feeling out of control ( this is the worst one I think)
5. Discipline ( yes, yes, I know it's good for them...but enforcing rules BLOWS!)
6. Feeling like I'm failing...:-(
7. Poop, throw-up, and when kids do that "I'm gonna spit out this food to piss you off " bit....
8. Losing my temper. ( see the pattern here?)
Now I know that most parents go through this but I am trying sooooooooo hard to find a way out of the anger that comes when either something happens that I can't control or I just can't find a constructive way to work my way out of a parenting problem.
I deeply admire all the parents out there that are calm all the time...and they do exist, I have seen them in the parks, grocery stores, etc...maybe when they get home they lose it or something. hahaha!
Anyway, I guess I just feel so tired a lot of the time and my patience just isn't what it should be.
Wah- wah- wah! Right?
Every day is a new day...a new start ...and a new chance to make something better...I gotta keep going with that...:-)
