April 2013

I am inspired by Kasara's re commitment to blogging.  I wanted to put up a post, just a quick update.  Obviously, Takai is here and that's a pretty big deal in my life.  He's a beautiful boy and Jaxson seems to be accepting him just fine.  They make such a cute little family.  I had the privilege of keeping Jaxson while Amanda was in the hospital.  I love him so much.  I'll never forget the morning he woke up with freezing feet so we snuggled up in the blankets and ate cheerios and watched Lady and the Tramp. 

On a more personal note, I saw a quote the other day that really hit home.  It said." I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."Bill Cosby   Wow, I like pleasing everybody.  But it is exhausting!  Especially when what it takes to please one person contradicts what it takes to please another person.  Sometimes my head gets so spinning that I can't even remember my own personal values.  I need to re evaluate my priorities.  I think I would have been a better mom if I wasn't trying so hard to keep everyone happy but then my kids wouldn't feel the same about me, but then maybe they would be better off....See what I mean about my head spinning?!

Anyway, that's what's on my mind right now.  Pleasing everybody or sticking to my values.  I HATE CONFLICT!
