I have to say...I am completely new to this hip blogging thing. I love to write and create, but for some reason never ventured into the world of blogging...until now that is.
Today, my little nugget refused her nap, which obviously frustrated me to no end for many reasons. There's cleaning and laundry to do, I had yet to shower and it was well passed noon. She's the type of kid who will stay up past her parents bed time all wired like she has a stash of pure sugar somewhere in the house that we have yet to find. Anyone else have one of these kids? Anyways, if she naps too late in the day we all suffer.
After about 5 minutes of feeling sorry for myself I stopped and realized that it is not the end of the world if the laundry is all wrinkled by the time I get to it, or if my shower waits a few more hours or even if this blog post never gets completed. Sometimes, I find myself getting caught up in the mundane tasks of life and parenthood and forget to focus on what's most important and right in front of me. Watching her face as she plays with one of my scarves for the better part of an hour is what's important. I should thank my lucky stars that I am so fortunate to be around every day kissing her boo-boos and watching her discover life and all of its infinite treasures.
My advice? Stop the glorification of busy and revel in the moments of nothing...you never know what special memories you'll make.
