All of my random morning thoughts . . .

I feel like talking go someone . . . but don't know who to call . . . and then when I think of someone to call . . . I realize that I really don't feel like talking at all but still have words that need to be said/written . . . thank goodness for Blogs!

Best Moment This Morning:  Standing in the kitchen cleaning up.  Petie playing so independently on the floor.  Looking up from what I am doing and realizing that he is watching me.  Smiling at my little Peter mister and having him burst into laughter.  We did that for like 30min.  All I had to do was smile at him for him to bust up laughing!

Most Annoying . . . Yet Thoughtful Moment This Morning:  Having to interact with self-centered spirits and realizing that being self-centered just causes you to become flat, boring, and hold onto the most unrealistic goals.  The best part of life is sharing and learning from others allowing you to become multidimensional and sensible.  Also realizing that I am such a controlling person that I continue to force those self-centered spirits to change there way - which causes me to become frustrated and resentful . . . maybe that is self-centered of me?!

Speaking of Controlling . . . In my breastfeeding class (which I made Mike go to) they said it is the mans responsibility to ensure that the women is successful at breastfeeding.  Mike has done a wonderful job at allowing me to become successful at breastfeeding and at mothering.  This includes him cooking and cutting up my food into small enough pieces that I can eat it at the same time I am feeding Petie.  I just read an article that talked about how it is the woman's responsibility to ensure the man is an engaged father - and you do this by allowing him to engage - which means I have to learn to be a lot less controlling!  Study Shows Importance of Support for Fathers from Mothers.  Mike thinks I am crazy and said that I have allowed him to be an engaging father.  He is engaged and is a wonderful father . . . but it is because he overcame my controlling behavior!

Most Daunting Task:   Knowing that someday very soon I need to rearrange my entire kitchen so that it is more kid friendly which means I have to and get to clean out everything we don't and probably haven't ever used!  Anytime I have the opportunity to get rid of stuff I am happy . . . but it also sounds overwhelming!

What Will Keep Me Going Today:  It is Veterans Day.  Because of where we work - we have the opportunity to remember our veterans and thank them every day.  I get to thank my husband every day for his service.  And thanks to my husband and thanks to all of those brave soldiers I get to spend the day with my husband and son!

Thanks for letting me talk!
