I want a new drug...

This last week I have been struggling emotionally, phyically and Motherly. Maybe it's because I turned 37 or because I am a stay at home mom now or maybe I have worked too hard in my yard. Aunt Flo has been trying to visit for weeks now, damn hormones and it has been rainy all weekend. Could my mood be from the back braking experience of sucking up flood water from my basement due to an over excited 5 year old and a hose??? What ever it was I was in a funk. I thought that maybe if I took a little day off that would help but there was no time for that. I just couldn't seem to get through the slugdge of the week. But over this weekend I spent time with some of my brothers and their families and I realized that they are my new drug. I love spending time with family. Talking and laughing is such a release of stress. And what ever mood I was in, after this weekend I am recharged. I am blessed to have such a great family.

Then it got me thinking....my girls are the same way. At times my girls need a break from each other. So I make it a point to try to spend some one on one time with them. But just like they need one on one time they also need together time. Lilly just isn't Lilly when Gracie is at school. And Gracie and Lilly are different when Em is napping. Its amazing how we need each other to feel complete. I love that they encourgage one another, comfort each other, talk and take time to listen to their problems. Its amazing to watch them grow as little people, as sisters and as friends.
