I was very cranky today. I guess you could say that I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. To be honest I was beating myself up about, until I read a post on my blog about giving yourself a little leniency in allowing yourself to be human. What?! I don't have to be perfect?! No, I don't. I believe that I do need to be perfect through Christ. But I also believe that in so doing that, that I need to forgive myself for my little imperfections and inconsistencies. Here's an example: I have started to wean baby girl. Let me tell you right now that, it is DIFFICULT! Especially when she's teething and super clingy. There are some days, like today, when I just feel like running away and hiding from the world. But I didn't. I did, however, worry about her eating enough, but she did. She went to bed happy, she's growing, and she is definitely not starving to death. I'd say that's a pretty much mission accomplished. With a child, I'm really learning not to let the little things get to me. It's a process.
I do have to say that I think I solved my baby girl's jealousy problem. (thanks to my wise mother) I had my baby hold the other baby on her lap while we read books together. It worked like a charm. It was positive and it lightened my day. Oh yes, and it's raining! I love the rain! Till tomorrow. Love you all
