I'm taking baby steps to help ease my stress and frustrations...
looking for one small thing a day to make me smile.
I took Gavin this week to get some pics taken for his First Holy Communion which will be on May 2nd!
I got the disk from our fave photographer back and saw sweet innocence like in this photo above.
I looked and looked at this photo and it made me smile; a big smile:)
When I feel like a failure in my life, I can look at this photo and know that my "PUSH" for my boy to attend a good Catholic school was a smart move on my part. The prayer book he picked out shown above was like $15 but it was worth every penny. He will sit there and read his prayer book so sweet and intently.
I hope that some of that has to do with what I taught him; to look to God and keep him in your heart always.
I look at how handsome he looks in his suit and how genuine he looks as he holds his hands in prayer and know that HE is a part of ME. I may not always be the best mom... I yell, sometimes a bad word comes out of my mouth (in which he corrects me!!) but I try really hard to give
my boys the best and show them the right way.
So each day that I feel like I've failed...
I'm gonna look hard for one thing I've SUCEEDED at!
Love you all...
thanks for your comments and support ♥

Our thoughts and our stress levels are so connected! There are many things that I can't really say I suceed at but thinking of them helps my thoughts stay positive. Things like, Spring flowers and Robins singing. ♥

How handsome!
You're not a failure! Repeat after me, "I am a good mother." I have to repeat this to myself all the time--my friend makes me! I know how you feel.
Oh Noelle, what a beautiful, touching post! Gavin is beautiful and your love shines though. You are such a good mom, it is obvious! Thank you for these words today. I have been feeling really awful about something and you really helped me. Thank you so much!
Love ya,

The only thing they do is upset you and make ya feel like your heads gonna blow off or sink into a dark hole, Yah you can tell I know what I'm talkin' about :) Deep breaths and lots of hugs on those kiddos and a little chocolate will help, all we can do is keep going!
