But today I am going to sit back and really absorb and embrace my recent accomplishments. And while some of the items on the list below may seem silly, to me, they are a big deal. It marks a shift in my attitude, progress in parenthood, and hope!
- I "slept in" until 6:45a (Thank you Liam and Finn)
- I showered before Pre-K3 drop off
- I went grocery shopping
- I put away the groceries
- I got a manicure
- I got my eyebrows waxed
- I've made it through to the next round with my Quirky Design
- I DID NOT get the Kate Sommerville/QVC hosting job...but I DID get invited to audition for her!
As a full time stay at home mom to two boys, it is easy to lose sight of the personal progress I have made when my priority is the well-being of my children. Taking time to sit and write down this list, even the silly things like a shower, make me more aware of the progress that I make everyday.
It's easy for me to identify the things that I did not do and to sink into a negative mindset (I DID NOT clean the house today. I DID NOT get more milk. I DID NOT put away the clean clothes.) than to acknowledge the things that I did do. So today, I choose to acknowledge the small accomplishments and to be positive!....
Which, for the record, is A LOT easier when I DID get the kids to nap at the same time :).
