Hey Life.....SUCK IT!

I'm not gonna lie, it's been a rough week. I feel like I've had my emotions handed to me on a platter....after someone river danced on them. But after the help of a few Snickers, some ice cream, and an ice cold Red Bull amazing friends and family, we've survived. We've brushed the dust off and are back on our feet.

Parenthood is one of the most challenging positions I've ever held in my life. Today is a true testament of that. But it is by far, also one of the most rewarding. I'd get knocked down 100 times if it meant seeing 1 smile on their tiny faces. And today I fully realized that no matter what the obstacle is, it's going to be OK. We will overcome it and survive. Scratch that, we won't survive, we'll thrive. Because we're fighters and that's how we roll.

We have 3 healthy, happy, and loving children. I'm so grateful for that. And those 3 children have loving parents who will fight tooth and nail to get them everything they need and deserve in life. As well as 1 Mama Bear who will beat the crap out of anyone who gets in her way. Just sayin'. Don't mess with my babies.

While this week royally sucked monkey butt, it a been a solid learning experience for me. My family is resilient. As parents we are strong. My husband is my rock. And as a mother, I'm doing a dang good job. So while this week has kicked my trash, its DONE. It's over. Life tested us and we passed. I don't know what will happen in the future, but I do know that we will make it through.

Today is a new day. I've put my fears and worries to rest. It's all about moving forward and focusing on the beautiful things this life has to offer. It's time to take charge of the day. And it's time to stop stressing and to stop and smell the flowers.....

{...even if they do smell like bacon...}


Happy Friday Amigos!!

Make it a good day...because I sure plan on it!
