Grateful for it all

Here is the progression of my morning in order and visual representation of me remembering to be grateful for all my blessings. Arie is teething and for the last two nights has screamed relentlessly (I have been alternating Motrin and Tylenol which is still ineffective at quieting her screeching). For two days I’ve slept like shit, I let it ruin my attitude yesterday and was on the same track for today, until these wonder little people made me remember something: this is all temporary. I’m not going to be this tired forever, it’s not going to be this hard forever, and they’re not going to be this small forever. Everything is temporary and I need to stay present and enjoy every moment, frustrating or not, because this time is going to be fleeting. My morning went from me pissed off and tired, to Kaja waking up all smiles, to arie waking up starting a snuggle pile, to Jax joining said snuggle pile and that’s when it hit me: it’s not about me, me being in a bad mood because arie couldn’t sleep because she was in pain was incredibly selfish. I am so lucky and so grateful I get to experience every second of being a mommy. Thank you to all my little monsters this morning for putting my attitude in check
