I have spent so many days being mad, sad, upset, angry, etc. I woke up early today, not tired and I laid in bed and thought what can I do to make today better, we're always rushing, I always seem to be screaming, the boys are not angry and frustrated when I am. What can I do to make us happy?
To be happy! I chose today to be happy, feet hit the floor, showered and picked up 3 out of the 4 bedrooms. I opened curtains, made breakfast, packed snacks, emptied backpacks, and all with a smile. The boys are leaving the house happy and I know they will have great days at school because they left the house happy. We did not fight and argue. I only raised my voice once and as I caught myself doing it I said to myself...I choose to be HAPPY, no yelling allowed. Yelling and getting angry only make us not happy.
Maybe it's TMI for my little spot, but I needed to put it into words for myself. I guess the old saying is true "If momma ain't happy no one's happy."
My plans for today include keeping a smile on my face and remaining happy. But I also have my weekly home blessing, some zone cleaning in my kitchen, my daily load of laundry, putting some leftover laundry away from the weekend, working a little bit in the basement (purging and organizing 15 minutes at a time), a menu plan for the week based on what we have in the house, some time in prayer, a little time sewing, a walk or bike ride and the daily workout from Kick-Ass April and Six-Pack March and then my evening includes a practice baseball game for my oldest. Sounds like a lot on my schedule but not really. I'll break it down into 15 minute segments and take regular me time breaks (which is when the sewing and prayer time will happen).
But most importantly, I'm going to choose to be happy all day, no matter what happens.
