Other days I hold the baby all day and we watch Sophia all day long. You win some you lose some. These days used to really bother me, but now I know tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start. Sometimes I even give myself a do over and start fresh in the afternoon. I'm in the same boat as you so it feels good to know I'm not alone with my expectations.PolkaDottyPlacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16251286113250727239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922558431228740835.post-72505290549330736832016-05-10T09:05:13.619-05:002016-05-10T09:05:13.619-05:00I don't have the kids to factor in just yet, b...I don't have the kids to factor in just yet, but I can tell you that I am in the same boat with setting unrealistic expectations for myself. It is definitely something I do often and it makes life hard, so it is something I am working on as well. With being sick these last 9 months it's been a struggle because I'm used to being so productive and disciplined with my things to do. Any tips you have would be greatly appreciated!!

I think that we have similar personalities - I love to plan the day too. But I totally know what you mean about having to try and be flexible with two little kids! The struggle is REAL. I love what you wrote about starting the day over. I need to try and do this more. When we have bad days (which is so often I feel like!) I feel like it just keeps going more and more downhill. I'd love to hear more about ideas you use to restart the day. I need to work on this! :) Hang in there on the rough days and know you're not alone! :) Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462906098537914813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922558431228740835.post-87855450241662267382016-05-09T20:05:03.497-05:002016-05-09T20:05:03.497-05:00I need to learn to let go of my agenda and to slow...I need to learn to let go of my agenda and to slow down and let Noah be little instead of rushing him because Emilya is crying, while he takes his time. I end up getting frustrated with him and that's the first thing they pick up on. I just feel like my time is soo precious right now and I need to slow down and enjoy it instead of hurrying everything along.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06447163069132663859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922558431228740835.post-49618575530669585922016-05-09T20:04:14.086-05:002016-05-09T20:04:14.086-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06447163069132663859noreply@blogger.com
