trying

trying to stay positive….trying to not worry about the little things.

trying to stay calm during one of Cooper’s tantrums and know that he will not be in “time out”  forever…..and he won’t go to college in diapers.

trying not to stress out about the holidays…remembering that family and traditions are the most important.

trying to have patience and understanding with people who bring negativity to my life.

trying to slow things down….taking time to really listen to my children and enjoy the beauty that surrounds me.

trying to remember that sibling fighting is normal…and trying to back off to let them work things out.
