Boys and girls

I saw a friend post something about joining the mommies of boys club on facebook (she just got peed on by her new little man). And it just made me so thankful to have both sons and a daughter. I don't mean this in a bragging way but a thankful way. I know many people with only boys or girls. And I'm so happy to have both. Each comes with their unique little personalities and struggles. All of my kids make me laugh everyday. Of course they usually frustrate me everyday too- hehe. But I'm so thankful to have them.

With all three in toe at the grocery store today, another lady said you look like I normally do. She was there with just her baby but said she had two others about my kids ages. I told her I normally try to shop while Sariah is at preschool. She was apparently there while hers were in preschool. Just a funny quick exchange. I wouldn't say I have 3 completely under control or anything but I am starting to get used to the crazy. I also took all 3 to the bank to argue some fees (love Commerce by the way they were awesome today). Normally I would never want to do this but sometimes you just have to.

My motto lately has been "I can do hard things"

Life has been crazy and hard and nothing has gone according to plan. But it hasn't been horrible. I'm still super blessed and I'm learning I can do hard things. I can take on a lot. And maybe I don't handle it perfectly but that isn't what matters. What matters is I try.

amen to that!

life feels so much more doable when I let go of the idea that it needs to be done "right" or perfectly.
