Having it all together

After our few recent Hospital stays with Zoie because of seizures, and med changes, we were hoping for a week span between seizures. We made it four days and she had one today. Not a bad one, more because she was exhausted from waking up at 5:45 by her choice and not letting her brain settle down enough to nap. At the time, I get frustrated, mad, and loose patience from these dam things, but after hours of Parenthood, and cuddles all afternoon from my girls, I said to myself, "at least they stopped, weren't in her sleep, and we went four days without any :) I have to pull the good out of each day, or lots of days would stink. So now we keep waiting for the new meds to take full effect, pray and wait for the red card. One step at a time. Even with seizures we had a fantastic day. We delivered Valentines to all Zoie's little friends, I got my yummy iced coffee because I'm always tired now days, we went through all the 12-18 month summer clothes that soon my little Ives will be in, and the girls and I dsnced to the, "lime in the coconut" song.... It's no wonder why my girls are such little music divas. If you were a fly on the wall In our house you would think we are crazy. Dancing, singing, and clapping all the time. Whatever makes them smile right? While I was kinda mad about Zoie already having a seizure, my sweet friend sent me the kindest, sweetest, text message telling me how she admires me for "having it all together." It sorta made me cry, for the compliment, and getting recognized by an outsider on how much I have to do on a daily basis without help. Thanks for that friend, we all need some recognition, but truthfully, I am far from having it all together! Dinner gets made about two times a week, my house is a tornado zone until we pick up before bed, Zoie doesn't always get two vest treatments, my to do list never gets done, I shower a few times a week, I don't get my daily runs in like I want, we waste time driving just because I need a break, and so much more. I may seem "all together" but nope, not even close :) I do what has to be done that day and I have learned that if a lot gets left sitting on the table or the to do list, we leave it. Sleep is important, rest is important, and the girls health is important. Everything else can wait during the days. Thanks for thinking I have it all together 💛 I'm just thankful that I know I'm not the only mom/person who doesn't, but tries. That's all we can do. Thanks to my sweet friend though, I snapped out of my 2 minute funk and realized how blessed I was and am. Sometimes our ears are just ringing at the same time and that little bit of encouragement helps!
