We Have No Control

I was so excited that my baby was eating an Oreo the right way, he untwisted it and started licking

We ran away for the day to my brother in law, excited to hang and enjoy the gorgeous day.  There are so many What If's, so many reasons why we worry, feel we cannot do stuff, especially things that are just for fun.  Ultimately we plan and God laughs, there is no reason to worry about anything, it lives rent free in our brain.

We are a few hours away, going to hang at the pool all day, while the kids enjoy and play, decided we deserved a mini vay cay :) There are a million things going on, budget is tight, not easy with kids, but we did it anyway.

I think in everything in life in order for something to be worth it, the pros need to outweigh the cons.  I love road trips, and now I appreciate the kids being strapped in, instead of roaming free on an RV.  Funny what perspective does, they did OK, a few outbursts, a few whines, but overall a good first run to a bigger trip we are planning later on.

There are many reasons why my head and my gut keep reminding me of reasons to worry, so I  talk back to myself and say whatever will happen will happen, and I will take a breath and react in the best way I can.  I really feel like a referee sometimes, and a part of me wants the kids to be independent and free, I never want them to lose their free spirit. 

My oldest is realizing when we are talking tough but joking, and he starts cracking up, I love humor, I love laughter, I love happiness, these are the pros.

Look for the Pros,
Enjoy Your Sunday,
Coach Yulia
