I have never blogged before so here goes nothing.....
Some days go smoother than others. Anyone with kids would probably agree with me on that one. There are some days when the girls seem to get along super well, listen to me, eat their dinner (in a timely manner) and pick up their toys before bed. Like I said before, SOME DAYS. On those other days....not so much. They both want "that" toy, cant agree on a movie to watch, think that I'm soooo mean when I make them eat those "horrible" veggies; ignore everything I say and just drive me crazy. I guess that is pretty normal for siblings, or kids for that matter. I am sure I was just as much of a handful when I was little. What am I talking about, no way, I was an ANGEL =) hahaha just kidding, I know my two girls are probably paying me back for what I did to my mom. That is how it usually works right????
So, with that said, it is safe to say that on most days, I never get the amount of cleaning I want done. Never really get time to myself until it is bed time and by that time I am usually to wiped out to really even do anything but sit in the peace and quiet and watch a little TV. Once I lay down to go to sleep, I sit and reflect on my day. It's funny because by that time, I have forgotten about all the arguing, whining, and ignoring. All that I seem to recall are things like Kaylin finding Lilly's shoes and Lilly getting so excited she drops her shoes to hug her sister and say thank you. Or....Lilly getting her cup of water for dinner and struggling because she is trying to carry her sisters cup too because as she says "KK thirsty". All the times they argue and get upset with each other are all of the sudden gone, and all I think about are the loving times. The times when Kaylin finds Lilly's baby doll blanket and brings it downstairs so Lilly's baby doesn't get cold. Or how when Lilly falls asleep, I hear Kaylin whisper "nite Lilly, I love you" . Or.. when Kaylin is going upstairs for bed, they ALWAYS hug each other and say I love you. No matter how much they argue during the day, its those little things that show just how much they really do love and care for each other. When they do those things it makes me feel like even though some days i don't feel like it, we ARE doing a good job with our girls. They love each other and I don't think I could ask for anything more.
I think at the end of the day, even if it was a bad one; if you can just pick out 1 or 2 things that made you smile that day, then it really wasn't all that bad to begin with. I try and pick my "good" thing every day. Once I do that, I can clear my mind and go to sleep happy. I believe every thing happens for a reason and even on those bad and horrible days, we have those to get us ready for an awesome day. I try and see the up side in everything.
Well, I think I have rambled on enough today. Maybe I can get the hang of this and keep it updated.... we will see.
