So I just finished watching the movie Courageous with my husband. I think I cried like 3 times in that movie. It was really good. I know its aimed towards fathers,but makes me really want to be a better mother and to be thankful for every moment I have with my children. I know that I have a sacred calling as a mother and I can mold my children and teach them to grow up in love and righteousness.
Anyway, today was a pretty good day. My mom took Elizabeth to the Primary pancake breakfast. Elizabeth came back super happy. I got some laundry done and spent some one on one time with beautiful Sophia. She really has the sweetest smile in the world. Also dyed my hair. Dark brown!!! Ah.... Way too dark. Tomorrow I'm putting highlights in my hair hopefully before church. Started reading the Book The Hunger Games. So far so good. I'm only on chapter 4 so nothing too exciting has happened yet. As part of my happiness project I want to start doing the things that I used to love doing and reading is one thing I can pick up again easily and still be a mommy. Also I have started singing again, yes 99% of my singing is to my children and half the time Elizabeth tells me to stop, but it feels good to sing. I'm not hiding my talents anymore. I can tell you now I'm a pretty good singer, and I don't mind so much anymore if people hear me sing.
Well I think I'm doing pretty good on my happiness project. I've been blogging more than I thought I would. And I'm really struggling with not nagging my husband and excepting that not everything has to be done in my time. Some things don't make me feel so happy in the moment, but when the day is done I realize not giving my husband a lecture actually saved from another argument. So what I didn't get done what I wanted to do and my husband didn't do everything that I wanted him to do today, but at the end of the day are we any worse off? I don't think so. We have our issues and have a lot to work on, but we can't be perfectionists all the time.
Alright I should go to sleep now because none of this is making much sense.
