Today I'm Stressed

Today I have been up to my elbows on poop...

Today my hands are dry and cracking from washing bottles and sippy cups...

Today my right foot is sore from stepping on several toys strung about the house...

Today my washing machine is getting a workout as I catch up on laundry from the weekend....

Today my head hurts from concentrating on the bills for an hour...

Today I am in need of a shower because I weeded the flower beds and got quite sweaty...

For all of these things I am grateful! I am thankful for all that poop because it means my little ones are healthy. I am thankful for my dry cracked hands because it means I have water and soap for washing dishes. I am thankful for my sore foot because it means my little ones have toys to play with. I am thankful for all the laundry because it means our family has clothes to wear. I am thankful for the headache concentrating caused because I know we have money to pay our bills. I am thankful for being sweaty because it means I have a home with a yard to tend to.

Even things that seem to be negatives are truly positives! On days like today, when I think I am stressed, I just remind myself....

and there is nothing negative about desserts ;-) Hope you are all having a great Monday! This week, focus on how blessed you are instead of how stressed you are!

Monday is stressful at our house too. I'm just finishing my mountain of laundry and Noah has not taken good naps today. That's life...at least it is here :-)

I was also wondering what "curriculm" you have been using with Lula Mae or is just something you put together??
