Home life chaos, and moments of amazing.

Today was an overwhelming day for me let me tell ya. My day started with the usual stumble to my coffee pot, eyes half open, hair literally everywhere, cell phone dropping out my hand at least twice along the way. About half way through the coffee making process, I finally open my eyes, and start my inner personal psych up for the morning. I try to tell myself every day that I got this and have a mini mind pep talk before the cherubs wake up. My minds always racing in the morning with chores that need tending, or business things that need attention, homeschool assignments the list is never ending. My life sometimes causes quite a bit of anxiety. Today was no different.

The stressed feeling creeped in gradually, and this morning, it started over us being almost out of milk, silly right? There it was, under a quarter of a gallon staring at me from the top shelf of the refrigerator. As I looked at it,I felt my pulse quicken because any minute now, the three year old, and the five year old would be up expecting breakfast.

Now I wont lie to you, there have been days where this same exact situation may have had dramatic effects on my entire morning in the past, but as I’m learning more about myself, and been working hard on staying positive, I quickly attempted to get a grip, and come up with a back up plan. By this time, my adorable daughter had awoken from her beauty sleep, and made her way to the kitchen where she said her good mornings. As I looked at her, this sweet little angel of mine tilted her head to the side and as if she already knew said, “ I want cakes mommy. “ I cracked a huge grin, and began fixing my whole crew pancakes, and sausage. Leave it to the three year old to indirectly save mama’s rear end this morning. Goes to show that anxiety can show up over the strangest of situations, but sometimes the best relief can come in the smallest of packages. Always keep those eyes open for those small blessings. It’s worth it.
