I Will Survive - But Will the Kids?

Adam set out for a business trip to Minnesota this morning. I've joked around that while he's gone I will survive, but the true question is whether or not the kids will survive. I know they are only 2 and 3 years old and need to cut them a lot more slack than what I currently do. Trust me, no one knows this more than me.

Quite often I feel like I'm taking 3 steps forward and 4 steps backwards. But, as I was contemplating this feeling, I was quickly reminded by a good friend of mine that "at least I was still facing forward." I thanked this friend (and thanks again!) for this great reality check and hope to constantly remind myself of this frequently.

Sure, there will be the times when I will get upset and will want to go and hide in my closet for just a few minutes to myself. But, I am hoping that I will survive - and so will the kids.
