Successes or Failures...

Everyday as a mom (and I know all of the mothers out there can relate) I experience success and failure. Sometimes there are more successes and other times, more failure. More times than not, at least for me here lately, I've felt the failure more-so than the success.

I can't seem to do it all...

 

I can't seem to get it all done...

 

Hailey had waffles for breakfast - again - because that's the only thing I can seem to get her to eat...

 

Madison was in her sleeper all day...

 

I had to call Aaron to grab something for dinner on the way home - again - because I haven't made it to grocery store yet...

No - all of these things didn't happen today, but these are some of the examples of the "failures" I experience.

As I was getting ready for bed tonight, reflecting on the day, I realized I should focus on the successes.

I was able to get the dishes clean...

 

I was able to get the work done in my online course...

 

At least I was able to find something that Hailey would eat...

 

At least Madison was warm and couldn't pull her socks off because her sleeper has feet...

 

At least I have a husband who is understanding and never complains and we have food to eat...

So, instead of focusing on the failures of each day, I am going to focus on the successes and be thankful for all that God has blessed me with in this life.

Successes for today

 

I ate a healthy salad (that I made) with lunch!

 

Hailey got to play outside in the beautiful weather!

 

Madison is sitting up by herself more and more each day!

 

Aaron washed all of the bottles!
