What Really Matters

     My job is an all day every day job.  I have been thinking about this a bit.    That is part of being a mom I guess.

Your work never ends. Some times I find this so overwhelming. "So much to do. So few hours in the day to do it, only to do it again tomorrow. Wait where is my coffee? And are you actually stuffing crayons in your diaper? ". Some days just feel endless, some weeks blend together. And life goes by so fast, yet there are moments that are not fast enough. However when I work at it, I really can individualize each day. But most of the time I'm just to lazy to make that effort. As moms we get stuck in a rut some times that really takes some work to get out of. I must Make sure I do something a little different because it's Monday not Sunday anymore kinda thing because getting stuck in the same thing every day rut gets old and boring pretty fast.


 

 Today is Friday. Fridays we go get grocery's. This Friday I made a point of being chearful to everyone while "killing it" at the gym. 2 hours went a long way today. I set my goals a little higher, and worked just a little harder. Added some lbs, and miles. And it felt good. But when I went to pick up the kids I found my self being rude at my children, they did not want to hold my hands in the parking lot. Then I thought to my self. Wait I can be cheerful all I want with the people who don't know me, but what really matters is how I treat my family. The last thing I want is to be a double person. No I need to be just as nice to my kids as I was to the girl with the butterfly tattoos on the lat pull down. I need to put just as much effort into my parenting, as I do at the gym. Because at home is where everything matters. Home is where hearts are garded, and people are molded, and spirits are protected. Home is where it really counts.  I need to make a differance in my own to little childrens livess  before I try to take over the world.
