I will start by saying that I should be in bed now as I am so tired from having been up late-ish the last couple nights, and then getting up early the next day. But, it felt so good to post something REAL the other night, so I am going to roll with it.
I was looking through my blog archives the other day and reading my posts from when I first started this site. Wow! I actually had some good stuff there (it shocked me). Totally forgot about some of those sleep regressions, teething, etc. It's nice I have it down for posterity. Plus, the postings are about real topics related to motherhood, personal stuff, work, etc, and my feelings and emotions regarding them. For so long, it just seems I have been maintaining a space with no substance. And I liked posting again the other night, and I think it is a good way for me to process things and clear my head/heart. Again, it is always the first to go when time is crunched (as it is lately), but that is probably the time I need it the most!!!.
My biggest challenge as of late has been parenting and discipline. This I am SURE is normal, everyday, run-of-the mill stuff for any parent of an almost 3 yo. I am trying to refill my toolbox and have been reading other blogs and parenting tips from places I respect. In fact, I have some notes made for a post connecting a bunch of ideas I have been reading. Very interesting stuff, it will just take me awhile to write.
Today was just awful and I am so glad it was over. For the record, I did NOT win the Mother-of-the-year award. Didn't do a great job and I was not really impressed with myself at ALL. We did have some good moments, but they were surrounded by such crap. So, a good post would be perfect for me to undertake as it might help me see things from another perspective - which I really think is the beginning So, coming soon - my observations on this crazy life with an almost 3 year old!.
Have been praying my Rosary and until today have been feeling so peaceful and thinking "It worked, It worked!" But, then along came Wednesday. I did say the Rosary again tonight though, just as promised.
As I am comfortably typing in my recliner, by body is shutting down and I keep falling asleep! [please excuse any errors] This is my cue, time to bid you all farewell. A tired me does not a good mommy make. And Lord knows, I need all the help I can get! Good night!!!
