and to be honest
it didn't feel like a vacation at all!
But as horrible as the the sleepless nights have been,
I feel lucky,
Lucky that I had the time off to be the one to take care of my sick babes,
to be able to attend to their every need,
to be the one to tell the Drs every little thing that seemed "off"
and to be the one to rock them ALL night so that they were comfy enough to get some sleep.
I rented the movie "The Help" the other night!
Holy smokes I cried almost the entire movie.
I LOVED it!!!
I know as women, most of us struggle with self image and feeling as if we fulfilling our lives.
The part of the movie that hit me the hardest was when Aibileen took that chubby little girl by the face and repeated "You is Kind, You is Smart, You is Important."
I Die!
Perspective!
These 3 statements put everything in perspective for me.
I not only need to tell myself this everyday, but it is my duty as a parent to make sure my daughter is feeling fulfilled....felling loved...and feeling that she is kind, smart and important.
I hope you all have a very safe and wonderful New Years!!!
I have the hardest post I have ever written set to go live on New Years, so be on the lookout :)
I am ready to say Goodbye to 2011 and HELLO 2012!!!!
