Maybe I really am as lucky as I think...

Sometimes I catch myself thinking that my life really couldn't be any better right now. My job is great, my friends are great, and my family is even better. It is like I am one of those ridiculously annoying "happy" people.

It takes only a simple moment for me to question this happiness, or to wonder; when will it end?

Recently I have been around lots of other Mommy friends who have told me hilarious stories about their kiddos, adorable moments with their kiddos, and then terror like moments with their kiddos. These terror moments always leave me feeling uneasy...

Is that really going to happen? You mean to tell me this "blissful" period is going to come to an end and I am not going to be this happy? 

Then I come home to notes like this...

And truly have to kind of laugh... 

We all know who this is referring too...E.L.L.A.

How can these little girls even be old enough to even think about "time-out"? Are we raising little terrors? What is going on here all day that she would bring this up already? 

Oh wait...teachable moments are good things. Learning what "no" means is important, and teaching respect is important to me. We will discuss what I feel is appropriate for this age and all will be fine.

My happiness is still in tact and we can make it through another day.

I truly believe attitude and a good support system is EVERYTHING, when it comes to any of the "success/happiness" we have in our house. Some days life is really hard, but it's one day out of hopefully, thousands more.

I have found that everyone handles things differently and every kiddo is different. My struggles might not be the same as another Momma's and that is ok. I hope that I remember as I talk with other Mommas that maybe saying, "this is what you have to look forward to, " as the girls are bouncing off the walls might not be something I should say. I will also try remember that this motherhood thing IS HARD, and it wont always be happy and fun. Us Momma's need to stick together and help each other when we can. 

Even when it is hard and it is the most terrible day, someone out there is wishing they were as lucky as we were.

No matter what kind of day we are having, these faces make me happier than anything in the world. We will get through whatever this life throws at us together. I will always try to be your happy. <3
