Maybe the WHO’s in WhoVille? 🙂
But really…
where am i coming up with my shoulds…
maybe it is pinterest ;)?
I love pinterest.
There are so many wonderful and creative
and uplifting and edifying ideas out there.
When I pin, I see how many great
activities and lessons
people are doing with their kids/families!
I often feel like
I SHOULD
be doing all of these for my kids
so that they can have a
full and complete
childhood.
My fantastic, beautiful, smart, brilliant mother
reminded me that
we had
“full and complete childhoods”
and there was no pinterest!
I should pick what I feel is important to my family
and do that…
but the rest doesn’t matter.
spending quality time with my
kids is what matters!
The other day,
as I was prepping my favao food,
i kept thinking that I
should be folding that pile of laundry
should be cleaning out the microwave
should be making a craft for my son
should be carving an ice sculpture
no I am just kidding on the ice sculpture!
I often feel, even as I am
writing this blog
that I should be _______.
(fill in the blank)!
This blog is my way of
journaling,
sharing my feelings
and trials,
and I SHOULD be doing this!
Obviously
there are a few things
I
SHOULD
do…
like pay my taxes
or
like feed my children dinner
or
brush my teeth.
Maybe they aren’t shoulds
they are musts!
It is really hard for me to
do the things I want to do
because i feel like I should actually
be doing something different!
silly, I know!
But sometimes it really stresses me out!
Today,
I will
QUIT SHOULDING!!
hehehehe!!
I will make my favao journey
an essential part

Fabulous post! And so true! Why has your therapist never told ME that! Lol! I am going to quit the shoud-ing too and focus on what is important to me (which is sometimes laundry – I have to admit.) 😉
