I've been in a funk for a while. I've been trying my best to fight it off, move past and just be myself again but for some reason it's not as easy as it sounds. I'm not sure why, there's no specific reason. I'm just feeling generally overwhelmed and anxious (as are all moms!). So something I'm hoping will help is to make an effort to recognize all the little things which make my day. Of course there's always the biggies (3 healthy children, a loving husband, a great family, a home, a job, enough money to be able to buy what we need, and enough money to buy some fun want-to-have-but-don't-really-need things). I never take those things for granted. But I want to make sure I don't lose sight of the little things. So here's my list for today:
* Jillian quickly agreed on her last-day-of-school outfit for tomorrow without any fuss
* the dress Jillian wants to wear had a small rip on the seam which I've been meaning to fix for a while now so I went to my tiny little sewing bag (and I do mean tiny, it's a small makeup bag, I'm not a seamstress by any stretch of the imagination!). What did I find when I opened it up? A needle pre-threaded with a good length of thread, in the exact colour I needed to fix the dress!
* the girls had a lot of fun in the bath tonight, and Leah now has that sweet babyfresh smell...I can't stop smelling her hair every time she walks past!
* I made salmon tonight for dinner along with brown rice and sugar snap peas (my favourite veggie) and it actually tasted pretty good...we aren't big fish eaters but I'm trying to add it into the menu more often and I don't have a lot of experience with it, so I was pleased it turned out well
* I'm excited about the last day of school tomorrow. Even moreso because we were given some last minute days off work which was a nice surprise. So now as a surprise for Kyle and Jillian, when they finish school midday I will be taking them out for lunch and then onto the bookstore as I've bought them each a Chapters gift card as an end of school year gift.
* today I wore a new bracelet for the first time...it's a charm bracelet with a Canadian theme so it has an inukshuk, maple leaf, etc and I love it.
* I had some nice comments on the blog...thanks!!
