I am grateful for a new year, with a fresh start! The year 2011 brought a lot of experiences in my life that has made me change the way I look at life, and I have truly grown from my challenges and spiritual experiences that I have had. I'm grateful for all of my trials and happy moments! I want to be able to think of ways to be happy EVERY SINGLE DAY! Life is too short to spend it being sad or down. I'm no blogger, so I hope that my desire to do this everyday will continue. I know that if we stay positive, and look up in life, anything negative will become a positive experience! With that said..........Let's Smile!

SMILE #294 Realizing I'm Not Super Mom

Well, it's been a really long tough week for me!  I tried potty training a 2 year old, who may just not have been ready, and who got sick in the middle of it, and a mommy who may have just not have had the energy to keep going!  I finally decided...(with lot's of help and advice) to give it a rest and try it again when I feel like she's more ready!  Does it mean I gave up?  That's how I was feeling for a while, till I got some good advice from lot's of friends (Thank you Facebook :).  I'm not giving up, i'm just choosing to wait till it's better timing for the both of us.  

 I was thinking I could do it all!  Potty train, keep up a clean house, keep myself happy, even when I knew I wouldn't be able to exercise all week (which is my "keep happy medicine").  I realized that I couldn't do it, and it's okay!  It doesn't change who I am, or what kind of a mother I am to my children.  It doesn't mean that i'm giving into what my child wants versus what I want.  It just means, it's not the right time!  And I found myself smiling tonight when I finally let go, and realized it was okay!
