So I woke up yesterday in my sleepless stooper, and told myself, "Tiffany Ann snap out of it." See I'm normally a pretty positive person, but the last several days have put me into this negative tailspin. Babies are teething, have had ear infections, and are in a growth spurt. Yes, I try to be the best mom I can be, but I am completely wore out here lately. Usually, I'm pretty good even through all this busyness of raising boys, running a household, and life itself. But last week I started feeling guilty that I even wanted time to just myself, all alone, even to workout. So I haven't worked out. I don't want any part of selfishness, and even though I need to workout for my health, I felt like taking this time away from my boys only made me selfish, not selfless. Time is precious, and my oldest doesn't get a lot of undivided attention. So, I prayed about it, and am leaning on God for guidance and resolve to this matter. Moms do need a little time to themselves, but taking that time for me, has only put guilt on my heart.
In the mean time, my friend Amanda, another triplet momma, shared this news article. When I started reading it I thought, holy smokes is this my long lost twin?! I think I may have found her right here. Lol. So, multiples mommas you have to read this article. Friends and family, go ahead and read it. Maybe this will help you understand my hippish look of late. Lol. Click the link below. Long, really long, but it is exactly my explanation of life right now. To a 'T'. Enjoy!
Anywho, yesterday I just went straight to my Gram's. One, I needed that comfort of home. Two, my Gram always knows how to make me feel better. :) That she did. I ended up having to come home a little earlier than planned since I forgot extra formula, so she went after Beau for me when school let out. While she was waiting she sent me a message that really made me feel good. She see's me as a mom a lot, and is like a mother to me, so she gets how I feel a lot of times during this crazy busy life. Her words came at just the right time, and for her I am greatful. My momma would be so glad that I have her to help me with this triplet journey. Today, October 22, my mom would have been fifty five. I miss, and love her so very much. If only she could see me, talk to me, and just walk with me in this life. But, here again I can't be selfish, and know that she is with God walking the streets of gold. She had a heart bigger than Dallas, and beauty in the inside and out. Thank you Lord for making me her daughter, even if I haven't had her in my life.
Cherish your moments with your children, because life is but a flicker. Life is short. When they say, "momma come play with me." Even if it's for five minutes, go play, and give that undivided attention they need.
Blessings,
Tiffany Ann
They always end up playing together, and it's pretty cute.
They loved oatmeal yesterday.
Yes, I licked the bowl clean yesterday. My Gram's homemade chocolate icing. :)
I do a lot of feeding, and I always say, "I will be so glad when y'all can feed yourselves." But, for now I do love to cuddle them.
They chew and chew on their sippies. Teething problems.
I love sunsets, but also love to see the sunrise. Shows the starting of a new day, and everyday with me is just that.
