The start of spring, the start of 30 days of blogging. The Little One woke up at 3am, and while she was up I plotted my first blog entry. It sounded so good! (At 3 am. In my head.) I envisioned the kids playing quietly while I typed and enjoyed a chai latte.
-REALITY CHECK- What was I thinking? Have I ever (in the last 4 years and 10 months) experienced so much as 5 minutes for an uninterrupted email?
This is how the morning is ACTUALLY playing out:
5:30am- The Little One is up. Putting her fingers in my nose to wake me up. Repeatedly. Then diaper time. I leave the room for one brief moment to dispose of said diaper. I return to her scribbling all over the couch in HOT PINK marker.
A handful all morning. I'm exhausted by 7am. But my meditation on letting go of perfectionism is working to... perfection!
Sooooooo, my goal here is to spend a little time each day writing about the awesome people who make my life so wonderful. The plan is that this will help balance out the inordinate amount of complaining and WHY ME-ing I do on a daily basis.
My awesome person today is my dear 2 year old. Although she has challenged me beyond all measure this morning, she also provides me with untold joy each and every day. A jollier smile has never been seen, and her giggle is to die for. It is astonishing to me that a kid that has spent such a solid fraction of her young life in the hospital has perhaps the sunniest attitude of anyone. I have a lot to learn from her and I'm awfully glad she's my girl.
love it KLo!!!!!
