Another Day
Today is just one of those days that you just wake up and sigh. Not a sigh of relief mind you, just a sigh. Lots of thoughts go around in my head about the day...how messy (really..I'm ashamed) my house is...how much I don't want to go to work today...how I need to go to the grocery store...plan meals...finish puting the Christmas stuff away...I could go on. I've decided that my friend's daughter has a good plan. She told me a few weeks ago that she wanted a robot for Christmas so he could do all her chores. Well, I don't think she got one but I think I'll put my order in already for next Christmas. Better yet, my birthday! I told Jake I didn't want anything for my birthday. I wanted time instead. I would love to be able to go do a few things for myself (imagine that) like get my hair cut, go out to lunch, scrapbook...even go out with Jake..and come home to a nice clesan house (I know, maybe that could have all happened if I hadn't added that last part). Anyway, one can dream, huh?
Speaking of birthdays, today is my sisters 17th. Happy Birthday Heather! Wow. Next year we both celebrate BIG birthdays. That's something to look forward to.
Well, I realized that this year Jake and I did not get a photo of us all under the Christmas tree. Just photos of Elijah. And no photos of us all either. Oh well. Here's last year. 4 months pregnant and oh so excited! Time flies.

Welcome to the world of motherhood, where there is never enough hours in the day to accomplish all that we want to accomplish. One thing I would like to tell you is STOP putting pressure on yourself. I know I need to take some of my own advise, but really stop putting pressure on yourself. Before child I used to have a routine with getting my house clean and doing the grocery shopping, etc...It is ok to let certain things go. I am ashamed to say that I can't remember the last time I washed my kitchen floor. Aat times I spot clean it, but I can't remember when I gave it a good mopping. I have gotten rid of a lot of nik nak stuff to make it easier to dust. Wow what a difference that made. And yes I love a clean organized house, but sometimes its ok if it is not the way I would like it. You can ask my daughter on what an organized freak I am. She is always telling me to calm down and truthfully I am learning to calm down and let certain things go. I don't like it sometimes but then I realize I am only one person and I can only do so much. It is also important to take some time for yourself. Let Lilly watch Elijah for a few hours so you can scrap or go out to lunch. It is ok to do that. It would be good for both you and Elijah. I love you guys and want to see you happy.
