♥ Pull to Flush
The handle broke, replacement on it’s way and my hubby is a southern engineer.
♥ Pick Your Battles
(my 4 year old insisted that I buckle up her paper friend)
♥ Pretend it’s clean
My desk lately
Life isn’t neat.
Sometimes you have to……
Fill in the ______ (blank)
cancel all plans to take care of a sick child.
I love that your four-year-old takes seat belts seriously! I remember young kids in my family having a problem with staying buckled!
…cheer for the Packers in the Super Bowl even though they beat your favorite team to get there.
amen!
very fun
…..submit to your husband’s sense of comfortable even when you are not thrilled. God has a bigger plan.
take a nap . . .
…read blogs with a (not sleeping) baby in your lap…
Take your begging 3 year old to the grocery store even tho it is easier to leave him home with daddy.
We buckle up “babies” around here quite often!
do something scary like meet new people or touch a spider
be brave and courageous when you want to run and hide.
Wake up before dawn to get in a work out. Yuck! But I always feel strong and beautiful afterwards!
Just fall into the arms of our heavenly father and cast all our care on him (something I am beggining to learn).
Sing The Joy of the Lord is My Strength while feeling exhausted. If too tired to sing.. whistling works too. Ask me how I know.
Remind yourself that your two year old really doesn’t know why it’s not a good idea to play in the potty. And then take a deep breath and clean him up. Again.
….turn off the computer and play Uno.
Spend an entire day in pajamas.
…take a nap first thing in the morning, right after pouring a bowl of cereal for your 3 year old with your eyes shut…
We have to buckle random “friends” into the seatbelts too. The latest was our pillow pet Sammy.
Yes you do have to pick your battles. When my 9 year old son was 3, he would fall asleep with snow boots, swimming goggles and other stuff on. After he fell asleep, my husband and I would go take it off! Some battles are not worth fighting !!
..let your children dress themselves. I FREQUENTLY say, ” I don’t care what you wear as long as you wear underwear”. Still working on not saying it in a sarcastic Dr’ Suess rhyming kind of way…..
…close your eyes
tell yourself its ok and then squeeze in a nap….somehow.
Life isn’t neat.
Sometimes you have to……
…Head out the door at 6am in -32F weather to avoid the evening “Resolution” crowd at the local gym… with a smile on your face. 80lbs lost — getting fit in anticipation of our mission trip to Africa this fall — totally worth it.
…just close your mouth and smile.
apologize for words intended for honest expression of concern but went a bit wrong.
… remeber that it’s not about me.
I love the pick your battles picture…and the message behind it! My mom instilled that one into me from a young age!
