Happy Monday morning…I know, I know… It feels like a Mac Truck just left the scene of the crime, but I promise. You can stand; that was just the weekend on wheels.
Happy Monday. I just wanted to shoot you a light-hearted Monday morning motivation, that you may not have ALL your berries in the basket, but you’re doing a GREAT job….sprinkle some sugar on that store bought pie crust & let’s get this show on the road.
As you look back on the last two months and 2 weeks, you may have done some questionable things…or your offspring have done some questionable things, but I’m giving you permission to take that emotional pass. Need some real life examples? I have a few in mind…
In fact, you may have signed your rough & tumbler up for Ballet, and she may look more like a football player as she [not so] gracefully prances around the floor…
But along with her older sis & cousins, this unicorn’s highlight of the week is Monday nights!
YOU’RE A GREAT MOTHER!
You may not have even noticed that your kid stole a cup from Flat Top to finish her root beer…
But she’s shelf-sufficient & quenching her thirst.
YOU’RE A GOOD MOTHER!
Still this same said klepto-child may have stowed away her unicorn horn in her bookbag & wore it for her school pictures…
But look at those smiles. #proudmama (When did Ruthie get so OLD!?)
YOU’RE A FANTASTIC MOTHER!
It’s family picture time & you mistakenly put one of your adventurous children in white pants then advise her not to BREATHE until we get our pictures done [unrealistic] while you pull boots onto another kid who has no socks only to realize, that you have no RED to wear for the photo except for a scarf you wore in the last family photo {…and of course, EVERYONE will notice that I wore it!} and the most well-behaved child in your family pictures, including yourself was your eleven-month old…
But these three little beauties were telling the photographer what to take a picture of, because they loved hugging each other & Nana & Gpa Steve so much that the excitement & LOVE in their hearts was OOOZING from the pictures.
YOU’RE A VALUABLE MOTHER!
You may not be able to measure a top of a desk to buy a fitting piece of glass…
But you are resourceful & needed a bigger desktop anyway. #facepalm
YOU’RE A RESOURCEFUL MOTHER!
Better yet, you may have an 11.5-month old and you haven’t even kind of thought about a birthday party yet…
But she’s basically not going to remember anyway {and her eyes will pierce your soul!}
YOU’RE A BEAUTIFUL MOTHER!
You may call yourself a blogger & then feel ashamed that it took you 10 months to update your header to include your third child AND you have not posted AGAIN in over 2 months…
But you’re children are smiling, you have food on the table & your marriage is imperfectly in Jesus’ hands and blissfully peaceful.
YOU ARE A GREAT, GOOD, FANTASTIC, VALUABLE, RESOURCEFUL, BEAUTIFUL MOTHER!
Happy Monday.
