Moms are great

I must have eaten something wrong. I didn’t feel well this morning. B'’H now I am feeling better. There is something to this Koach thing. I pushed myself to get things done. Where did the Koach come from? Normally I would just lie there in bed and wish the whole world away. Being a mother I can’t do that . There is always someone calling for mommy, meals to be made etc. Now here I am trying to feed lunch, figuring a way to entertain my two boys without losing my cool. Somehow Hashem blessed me with some Koach today. Thankyou Hashem!!

Here I am on a Thursday morning. I am waiting for my chicken to defrost. I probably should burn out the oven, but I need to sit. At least I mopped the floors, put away some laundry, did some dishes, hung some laundry, mopped again. I would say that I did a lot . Wouldn’t you? I am trying to get more organized in a way that doesn’t make me crazy . I wonder if such a thing is possible . Is it? Well, I am learning to relax , but I think that the best bet is to do a big part of my housework and make supper in the morning. Gee, it takes a lot of acrobatics to be a mother and a wife. It’s always a work in progress.

here i am sitting and talking to ari and having some quality time on the phone. I wish I could have more time with him in person. Today I have come to the conclusion that I should snap out of my complex and start to really appreciate the great husband that he really is. He is so strong . He is willing to do anything that he needs to do to support his family. His family is his life. He is everything that I could ever want in a husband . He reminds me of Zaidy. I think that my goal before becoming a great housewife is to become a great wife to my husband . I have to learn to put his needs first . It might be hard for me, but I have friends that I could talk to when he is not available. It’s funny that it takes something big like this for me to realize what I need to do inorder to be a good wife to my husband. I have so much growing up to do. A child of divorce has a lot of work to do to build their life into a normal one. The damage of a divorce takes a long time to repair and NOBODY has the right to say when it is supposed to be finished. I know that I have done some repairs but boy do I have a lot more to go.

that’s all for now. things to do…

OK so I got a decent amount of housework done today. For some reason that I can’t figure out , Yossi is not as into using the toilet like he was last week. I think it’s because of the fact that he can’t look better than Shmueli. This would seem to be a normal thing for a two year old. He wants to be the one that gets all the attention. I seem to be sponjaing the floor quite a bit b/c he seems to be too lazy to go to the toilet. He would rather play. Since I know that he has the control I am not going to put him back in diapers. I am just going to knock it into his head that the toilet is the way to go. It’s a miracle that I got anything done today. I seem to always have someone on my lap. This heat isn’t helping anything. It is making them go bananas b/c they can’t go outside. How long can they play with their toys. They are being normal kids, but why does being normal kids mean that they drive me nuts sometimes. Someone told me that they send their daughter to a baking chug. I wonder if I should do the same with Shmueli. I don’t know what to do with Yossi. I think that I have to go to Big Deal and buy that book that’s full of activities for the kids to do, especially since they will both be home the entire month of August and then it is full freedom in the morning for me to get housework and my selfcare done too.

Sundays are not my best days. I take naps on Shabbos afternoons and then I stay up late on motzai shabbos which therefore leads to shleppiness on sunday. Something has to be done about this cycle. I think that I can’t go to bed past 12:30 on motzai shabbos b/c it only leads to trouble for me. My problem is that it’s my only time to relax when ari is around. Eventhough the time isn’t spent talking but somehow having him around makes me feel good. Here I am pushing myself to stay awake. I am not sure why. I am only going to suffer but I feel that I need to get some things off my chest. I want to make a list of things that I want to get a ccomplished. This way I will have goals and I will feel good about myself that I am getting things accomplished. This is my goal for tomorrow.

good nite.
