Just Breathe....

Ever have those days where you wake up and think OMG what did I ever do to deserve this?
Well, here I am and I am here to stay. I'm a stay at home mom of three school aged children....who all can't keep their hands off each other! They can't wait to speak all at the same time and at the end of the day they all love each other and teach one another all the good and bad things they know...

I would like to take you on my journey....feel free to comment, discuss or ignore me!
But this is the path I have chosen and continue to stay on for a while.

Never in my life did I think my "job" would be to take care of three little people...to referee, cuddle, give time outs, nurse a fever, hold a bowl, wipe a nose or read the same book over and over again. At the end of the day I won't lie sometimes I wish and pray they would go to bed and sleep because then I know they are safe and QUIET!!! Did I just say that out loud? Yes, it's true sometimes we mom's get tired and have enough of playing the same card game over and over, or reading the same book or watching the same show.....and I won't lie, the drama and the fighting does get to us.....so this is where we need to figure out how to BREATHE and within seconds figure out how to deal with the situation without freaking out or creating a huge SCENE in public..... we aren't crazy but these little people can make us crazy....sometimes I just feel they are constantly testing our patience....just waiting to see how they can explode this bomb!!!
This is a journey that I have learned more from than any Educational institute, everyday is a learning experience and some days I ask myself "why?" or "how can we work through this? or change their habits?" Some days I don't know the answers to all these questions but together as a team and family we try to work through them and try not to ignore them. We try to learn from the good and the bad experiences and get through them in the end. The past two years I had the pleasure of spending my days alone with my youngest child who has taught me about every bug imaginable, he also has an incredible memory and imagination. He has an old soul and a huge heart. He has taught me that it's okay to get dirty, it's fun to act silly and it's fun to play the same game hours on end. He has also taught me how to teach him how to learn in a different way....making learning fun and not so regimental. We do art with writing, he sounds out words for fun, we make work into songs....I have allowed him to educate me as I educate him. This is the part of my job as a mom that is so special to me.....So this is my journey and I hope to be able to share it with you...I am promising myself to write at least once a week. I hope you will come and visit....or follow me....

Cheers
