Your list of three things at the end was the best. At the end of our lives on our deathbeds, none of us are going to be thinking, "I wish I had never let dishes accumulate in the kitchen sink."Christie Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333902509359986104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234817178102719660.post-22858336389868229132015-03-26T13:56:33.883-07:002015-03-26T13:56:33.883-07:00Love this and love you! You are an amazing person...Love this and love you! You are an amazing person with such a huge capacity for kindness and love for others, I hope you can always feel that!!! It is hard to not feel overwhelmed by everyday mothering life, and then feel ridiculous because "it shouldn't be that hard". I am glad to hear you are taking a calmer approach and that it is helping!!

I am realizing my best pre baby is no longer attainable. In a way I have to set a new standard for what is my best- which is so hard for me... The Asian side of me won't let it go haha.

I remember for a while even seeing that Giovanna's nails needed to be cut would overwhelm me. I almost always have a to-do list and honestly things slip because I am not on top of it, but truly, exercising and eating good food and being with my girls (instead of trying to keep them busy while I do chores) and writing every day is more important than paying every bill on time, and the like. At least I think so ;) Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826808750354256820noreply@blogger.com
