Today was one of those days where you think man life is a breeze and I am so glad to have this life I have. I do love my life and I can honestly say I do not want anyone Else's BUT it is hard some days. Billy says to me the other day "Babe, life is happy, life is sad, life is up, and life is down. That is life!" I have this personality where I like serenity and I like order. I hate clutter and chaos! I like certainty and being able to check things off my list when I complete them. Schedules work well but life is emotional and unexpected at times. And parenting definitely is. Yes I plan our menus and know what we have going on for the week, well for the month for that matter. I guess that is why being a mommy is SO scary! I want to set an example for my son. I want him to look up to me. I think the very best discipline for my son is continuing to work on me. I am so grateful to be in a 12 step program because of this I know I am always teachable, I do not have all the answers, and God is in control. I am continuing to work on me and ask God for strength. Today was one of those days that went according to plan. We went to the gym and Tanner got a sticker for being well behaved and I had a great work out! We then had his swim lesson. He is doing amazing with that. We had our snack by the pool and he listened. We sat together and I tickled him and he laughed. We came home and wrote in the driveway with his side walk chalk. He ran around the front yard. He cracks me up! We came in for lunch and then he played for awhile. I have started trying to teach him his letters and new words! Then he napped for three whole hours(so glad he is a good napper) I cleaned entire house, caught up all laundry, and changed sheets. I then cooked dinner for my brother Steve and his daughter Ali who is here visiting from Wisconsin and we watched a movie as a family! All in all a great day! I love being a mommy. Tanner teaches me much about life and love. I like the person I am and grateful to be clean! I am celebrating 7 years in three weeks. I am a true testament that Gods plan was way better than mine!! I am thankful for family! I am grateful to be an aunt, a sister, a wife, a daughter, a daughter-in-law, a granddaughter, a niece, and a friend. Grateful for life! Grateful for a good day! :)
