Seeing Life In A Different Way! Pushing Myself For My Kids!

Work has been amazing yet super busy, at times I feel it's too overwhelming. We just got over the stomach bug in my house. We rearranged the girls room to make it more user friendly for them. I am at my breaking point- lack of sleep, working too much and juggling too much. When this happens tempers are short. I eat bad. I am moody and start to reevaluate why I do what I do and for who.

So tonight was another night. I rested a little while the girls played in their room and before I knew it was past 8:00. The kids still needed a bath and to get dressed for bed. I was moody I will admit it. My temper was short. The girls felt it and were quiet.  But then I got an email from my middle ones pre school teacher. She went on to say how amazing my daughter was doing at full day pre k and how she was keeping up with the older kids no problem and she mentioned a story about talking about firemen and matches and my daughter said she loved to play with matches. They asked her why and she replied it's fun to try to find the same pictures to match them up. My daughter loves board games and we have been playing a matching game one often. The teacher went on to say she explained to the other children what she meant and showed them the game and really enjoyed the laugh. She went on to say how smart she was. She gave my husband and I credit for raising such an amazing child. I teared up.

After reading it it dawned on me that all my hard work, all my late nights working while they slept was really for them. For my three girls to have an amazing life. Not to only have materialist things but to have me their for them. For me to be able to balance being their for them whenever they needed, when they are sick, getting ready in the morning, I do drop off and pickup, I make their breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday while juggling my own company and work load. I work while they are at school and sleep. It's for them. And it's amazing to see the rewards through them.

I know it may sound silly but realizing it's all for them makes the struggle easier. If I can balance being their for them while providing a good income to help contribute to the house and bills and the extras then I will do it. I will do it because my parents did it for me and I am now able to do it for my kids. I want them to be amazing in their own way with me by their side guiding them through it. I don't want to ever have to say no unless it's because of our choice to say no not because we can't financially. It really helps put life into a different perspective! In the end it's for them, the long days, the late nights working, the pushing to build my company, the days I have to give myself a pep talk to say I can make it through the chaos of the day. It's for them and if I could I would do even more just to make things better for them, so they can be even better!
