Giving it your all

I MISS SUMMER!!!!!! It was so easy to find things to do all day, beaches, parks, bike rides, walks. I always get a little cabin fever/depressed in the winter. I find it more exhausting to try and find things to do inside all day then going for 2 hr walks in the summer and playing at the beach all day. Today I gave my all, today from the moment we woke up until we went to bed I put in all my effort to be the picture perfect mom/wife. Took Macie to swimming lessons, cleaned my house, tried to keep house clean all day, played games with the kids, made crafts with the kids, made healthy muffins with the kids, had a delicious healthy supper, took Macie to dance, ended the day with stories and snuggles. While doing all of this I also tried really hard to be super patient with the kids and not lose my temper. I have to be honest I am absolutely exhausted. The thought of even trying to do it again tomorrow almost makes me want to cry. I will admit though that I feel so good, so accomplished. And even though at the end of the day I am exhausted, overall the whole day was so good and so nice. So many good memories I made with my kids today.
