I Do Appreciate You!!!
As I wake up twenty minutes before the alarm goes off I look into the crib next to my bed to see a beautiful, bright eyed baby girl smiling at me, so I force myself to get up and start my day! As Im walking through the house and see toys all over the floor and laundry scattered about I think about the day ahead of me and get an instant headache, as I get breakfast for all four children (that all want something different) I wonder what is for dinner, as I know I wont be back home until dinner time I better take something out of the freezer for Daddy to cook. Its got to be something easy as Daddy will have a long day as well seems how he has been at work since 4am. he will be home just in time to shower and pick the kids up from daycare, he will then start dinner and make the children do their homework, and chores. I sometimes get frustrated at all that I have to get done in the course of a day and I dont always appreciate all that he does for our family to manage, but when I do I know I couldnt be back in school and working, and have a family without his support. I owe him everything, but nothing at all as he too gets to enjoy our family! Dont forget to let anyone and everyone that helps you even just a little bit know how much you appreciate them!

All I can say to this is wow! I couldn’t even imagine going to school and having four kids and on top of that have a job. I really think it’s amazing how much you do and it’s very inspirational. Sometimes I tend to find myself stressing over little things and this makes me realize that I should not sweat the small stuff. I love how you and your husband work together to get through the day. It really does take a strong support system to do all that you do. It really makes me realize how many people I have in my life that support me also.
ReplyDeleteYou are truly a remarkable woman, mother, and spouse. Having the guts to actually go back to school I applaud you on, my mom is going back to school as well to have a career in something she truly loves now that my sister, brother, and I are pretty much all grown up. I always try to show my boyfriend how much I appreciate by leaving him sweet and loving sticky notes around the house after he leaves for work, he loves them so much he has every single one I’ve wrote him inside his wallet, just the simplest things in life can give someone so much joy! Showing someone you appreciate them can make a good relationship into a great one.
ReplyDeleteYou are truly amazing! I couldn't imagine juggling four kids, school, and working. I can hardly juggle work and school alone. I give you props. I tried to help out my mom a lot when she was a single mom and worked full time. She always let me know how proud she was to have me helping her out. Now that I am moved out, my mom tries to help me, and not a day goes by that I do not thank her for being there to help me when I need it.
ReplyDeleteI love this post! I think that we, as in human beings, take a lot of things for granted in life. We really don’t know what it means to appreciate someone. I have a lot of people that I appreciate and its not only family but its friends as well. I wish that I can show them all how much I appreciate them but its only so much I can do. I especially appreciate my parents because without them I wouldn’t be in school. So by far this is my favorite blog and I cant wait to see more of your blogs.
ReplyDeleteI cannot even imagine doing what you do, raising four children, going to school, working, and spending time with your husband. I can barely handle working and going to school, I get stressed out too much! I do not show my appreciation towards my mom and dad as much as I should; they do a lot for me! I do appreciate them a lot though because I would not have been able to do a lot of things if it were not for them! I really like your blog, and I am going to try and show more appreciation towards my parents and what they do for me because if they were not here for me, life would be really rough.
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing inspiration and you are such a strong woman to being going to school, working, and fulltime mom! The way you are acknowledging the better things in your life while facing the difficult ones at the same time is truly extraordinary. You sound like you've got yourself a "keeper" of a husband. I have always been more of a pessimist person because I do not want to be disappointed so I think of the worst outcome. You have an optimistic view and I wish I was strong enough for that! Keep that up! You sound like an amazing mom!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you that we need to let someone special to you know how much you appreciate them. I always took my mother for granite when I lived at home. It’s not until I moved out that I finally understand what she did for me and how much she gave every little time she could to make everyone's life better. She is truly an amazing women and I will never take her for granite again! And I just realized that I am the only guy to comment on this blog post... Eh all well.
