Not perfect, but something; A day in the life of…
a hazzled (hassled+frazzled) mother who is just feeling low-key and wishing for some inspirational strength.
Here is an article on the Chabad website I liked today “If you could be G-d for one week, what would you do” that actually seems like a good intro into Judaism…at least the way I introduced myself to it over the internet. It fits in better with my recent more-agnostic leanings that have been not strong enough to disturb me, yet.
Actually I think it’s good that I was getting away from my overly detailed analysis of everything. I was getting too involved in understanding details to the point it could have backlashed.
I am sad today at the same time as I am proud of my improvements as a healthy person.
Sad about:
- My shouting at my kids, even though it has been much less since I made a resolve to stop shouting a few weeks ago. (I am never sure if I fall in the mid-range of shouty-type mothers, although I suspect that I do. I am not a horrible howling monster, but I also do not always keep a level calm tone. Well only in public, anyway.
- Still not getting dinner on time
- Not having planned our budget and figured out how much I need to work now that the baby’s born; I keep hoping if I don’t that I’ll find out we are just fine with me at home working only an occasional hour or so, but really all I can say is: HA HA. REALITY CHECK PLEASE!!
- My little baby has a cold
- My friend’s little baby is not strong: any of you reading this, who does feel the urge, please say a little prayer that the baby become stronger and come home soon
- That I have not edited this post, and I am not sure what to delete since it looks mostly blah so far.
Things that I am happy about
- That I have enough presence of mind to write a happy list to balance out the sad list
- the relatively good health of my family members
- the pleasant mood my husband’s been in (he hasn’t complained too much…well, not too much…about the late dinners)
- Internet connection
- NPR radio
- The place we live is clean and warm, Thank G-d
I apologize about the un-well formed post, but this is today’s mode. Not perfect, but something.
