Ever have one of those mornings (ok, days or weeks?) where everything seems to be going against you? I woke up today to a snowy/icy mix … ugh, already on November 12th, so cue the two hour school delay for my kids on top of an already jam packed day and crammed week. I quickly became frustrated and annoyed by the change in my schedule.
As I was doing my morning workout, thoughts of juggling my schedule, preparing for Austin’s birthday and getting caught up on my ever growing ‘to do’ list raced through my mind. Then a flashback to this same day in 2010 came in my head.
November 12th of 2010 was my last scheduled day of work before I was to deliver Larissa. I was so busy preparing for the arrival of our bundle and getting last minute things together that I hadn’t realized that I hadn’t felt any movement that day.
That memory put it all into perspective. Be grateful I have a party to plan, school delays to endure, extracurriculars to attend and small mouths to feed. These are the blessings I so longed for in 2010 and never thought I’d receive. So, after my workout I took advantage of the delayed morning to do my kids laundry, pack their lunches and prepare for Austin’s party…normal everyday mom tasks that we all take for granted but may be simple pleasures someone is silently praying and hoping to achieve. #blessings #perspective #momlife
