Today was just another normal day. I seem to never wake up quite early enough so
I spent my mornings rushing around running downstairs to get this then back
upstairs to get that. I finally ran out
the door (five minutes behind) with wet hair – it’s okay I've got my hair tie
on my wrist and will just pull it up at the first stop light I have to wait
at. I have something that resembles a
lunch – I guess breakfast is just not going to happen again this morning.
My only saving thoughts today are that my car is NOT out of
gas and I already have tonight’s dinner done and will be welcomed home by the
aroma of amazing spaghetti and meatballs, patiently waiting for me in the
crock pot. As I strive to become a
successful wife and homemaker, it’s these small victories that keep me
going. When I feel like I've let
everything slip through my fingers, I try to focus on the one thing that I was
able to succeed at.
The author of one of my favorite blogs, The UntrainedHousewife, calls the areas she struggles with “areas of growth potential.” I love that.
When I run into those areas that I’m having difficulty with I no longer
look at myself as failing but as exploring my “areas of growth potential.” So fellow wives and homemakers in training,
don’t get discouraged. We can do
this! And by swapping ideas and sharing
our successes we can help each other along the way to becoming the individual
homemakers we are striving to be.
