Friday Randomness

Being a mom is real work. I’m talking total business. I have a hard time asking for help because I always knew it’s my job to nurture, guide, support, and most of all love my boys in a way that no one can. Some days, I could have an irrational frustration, which consists of yelling, but then again, I know deep down it’s not constructive to do such a thing, but hey, maybe my buttons were pushed. I know you’ve experienced it before and perhaps, never to my level.  It doesn’t happen frequently. It’s hard when I ask my boys not to tease or do certain things, but they test their limits as well and would go to the extreme (at least they learn) for the most part to not do it again. They have their good and bad days just like we do and will eventually return to their submissive state within a blink of an eye.

People always wonder how I do it and let me tell you, it’s tough. I don’t know how I do it, but it has to do with being patient and mostly on the job-training (I am heading towards my fourth child). Of course, it comes with a variety skill set that is required. Mothers shouldn’t be mothers if they don’t know what the true meaning is of being a mother.  Don’t you agree?

I’ve grown as a person because of my boys.  They’ve brought something different in my life (it comes with pain), but most of all they brought me more than just my happiness. It’s my job to make sure I do what’s right for them and it’s a testament to love that we stick together through it all because we’re like peanut butter and jelly.  I KNOW…. we’re an awesome family.

So ultimately being an exceptional mom is what I strive to be and hopefully it’s evidenced in their behavior as I continue to pass on important life skills to them. Remember, everyone should do what they love to do – for me, I love doing many things that consists of photography, cleaning, making crafts, blogging, reading, creating babies (haha), etc. And while these create a sense of contentment with a boost of energy because I’m enjoying it, I tend to involve my boys in them. It’s my way of building a relationship with them.

I’m going to start the 365 days project soon. I wonder if I can do it. Well, I know I can. Stay tuned.

P.S. 15 more weeks to go before Baby Batman Jr. arrives.

Have a wonderful Friday. XOXO
