Perspective

Its been a rough week at the Cazier household...maybe month.  As most of you know I am a bit of a control freak task master and lately my list of to do's has been a mile long. The hours of the day tackle this list is limited due to the fact that I have 2 children to look after and a physical limitation that is this rather large belly I'm waddling around with, leave me feeling defeated at the end of the day, nothing crossed-off, and the list just keeps on growing.  My sister pointed out yesterday that if I can't accomplish those things on my list I'm not happy...and its true.  So this morning I'm finding some perspective, even changing my priorities, so that our family will survive these trying times.  Don't get me wrong, nothing about this is REALLY trying compared to those we know with real issues and I should just shut up...the girls are happy and healthy, Josh is happy and healthy, its just me...the house is a mess, the yard needs some TLC, the new fridge has issues, my doc delivered a bit of a blow yesterday, but we will be ok...I will be ok. How can I not?  Take a look at these darling faces I am privileged to gaze at every single day!  These are the silly faces that have made me laugh and smile over the last few days...so snap out of it Jolie!

This is how Harper chooses to go for a walk around the block...

Bubbles in the bath...instant happy!

 And this is breakfast this morning...I'm thinking, "OMG, what a mess, more work for mommy"...then I look at this face saying "cheese" as I take her picture and who cares about the messy face, counter-top and floor!  Oh, window, chair and couch too...but that face...those eyes...that smile. And she's mine... Its going to be a good day!
