Make Your Own Happiness

It just happened. I just cried because dinner didn't turn out the way I expected it to. Then, I cried even harder because the stupid (but adorable) dog ate the turkey sandwich-dinner replacement I made for my son. Hormones are evil little dudes. They've been getting the best of me a lot lately. It's way easier said than done, but I'm determined to not let my emotional outbursts ruin anything.

The only thing I can really come up with is to use these pregnancy hormone momentary outbursts as fuel to find something positive. I feel like it's a really hippie-dippy solution, but I HAVE to stay on this balance seeking track. I'm really feeling as though the universe is trying me on this one (especially now that I have to pause to clean up the lemonade my son just spilled all over the place by throwing a blanket in the air that I have REPEATEDLY told him to stop doing).

Deep breaths. Calm down. Seek your balance.

OH MY GOD! STOP BANGING ON YOUR BEDROOM DOOR AND ASKING ME EVERY 5 SECONDS IF YOU CAN COME OUT!!!

Deeper breaths, slower exhales. It's time to do something productive. Productiveness is key to working through insanity these outbursts. The boy has cleaned his mess, and is now in his room for not listening. Ive done the mom and teacher thing all day. It's time to work towards my goals of achieving something outside of my work title, and position as mom.

I really find that since I have become mindful of searching out and maintaining an identity of my own outside of being a parent and wife(while still totally embracing and enjoying my children and husband) I am finding the balance that I feel I have been lacking over the past three to four years. I really do encourage all of you to do the same.

  There should be no shame in doing what makes you happy.
