It's A Good Week

every now and then i feel like

"hey, i think i've got a hang of this raising boys thing."

this week has been one of those moments.

i know i still have a whole lot to learn and to teach.

but this week oh it's been great.

no hair pulling, i actually had some patience, i was calm, i was ready for an adventure every day.

coming home from our holiday this time was super super hard and i suffered the post-holiday blues BAD!

like really bad.

this week though it's like someone has kicked me up the butt and i've gotten a hold on myself and i'm back into gear.

i really love everyday being able to spend time with the boys.

doing things that interest them.

helping them with tasks or challenges they are facing.

being a mum rocks sometimes.

i had to pick up makai's enrolment for kindergarten next year and thought how could this be possible that my oldest boy is about to start "big" school, where has all the time gone?

i have come to the relisation that who cares if my house is a mess all day, as long as i can spend time building memories with my kids, i don't care.

the washing will get done, the cooking will get done, the cleaning will get done.

i don't have my kids long before i send them out into the world and i need to really embrace all the time that i have left with them.
