Motherhood is hard

This afternoon has been hard, emotionally, on both Nathan and I.
He wants one thing, I want him to do another...and a downward spiral occurs. Have you ever just wanted to scream at the top of your lungs?! That was me today.

I mean it when I say that I would do anything in this world for Nathan. So why is it that I resist rocking him to sleep for his nap JUST THIS ONCE, or fight so hard NOT to lay with him until he falls to sleep at night? Am I being selfish? It's not going to kill him or me if I do certain things yet I struggle for power and control over it. Is it worth the battle over one or two small bad habits.

We had a great 4th! These are just two of the many pictures I took. More to come....sometime.

Here are a few things on my mind this morning:

-Cass has to work a twelve hour shift on the 4th of July, so Nathan and I are headed to Redmond for the weekend!

-I still can't believe Michael Jackson died.

-The next few weeks are crazy busy. One of the upcoming events is my 10 year high school reunion. I'm excited and have been working out and eating good because this is the motivation I've been needing/wanting to lose the last few pounds I've been struggling with.

-Nathan is sleeping in his big boy bed! Now his thing is to have me lay and sleep with him. I'm working on breaking this habit but he is so stinking cute and LOVES to cuddle. I can't say no when he asks to "hold you."

-I'm an addict....to caffeine. I have been slowly trying to ween myself. I now drink half caff coffee in the morning...team that up with a morning workout and I'm good to go.

-Summer is not my favorite season but so far this year I have been LOVING it. Nathan and I get to spend time at the pool and playing outside. By the end of this month I'm sure I'll be ready for Fall...my favorite season of all!!!

-Cass and I want to go to some Beaver Football games this year.

-Is anyone else disappointed in Jon and Kate Plus 8? Everyone saw it coming but I always held out hope...SO disappointed.

-I'll try and remember to take pictures this weekend and post sooner than later.

Have a safe and Happy 4th everyone!
