I am sure we have all heard that expression more than once in our lives. And truthfully the saying has merit; don't fret over the little things. Especially the little things you have no control over. Why worry and stress over tiny things like rain on your grocery shopping day, or a toddler who splashes in a mud puddle 2 seconds after you dress him.
I was once a worrier, I worried about little thing, big things, and things that didn't even necessarily have to do with my life.
And then I had kids (Oh the number of times I've used that statement) and I realized that nothing matters anymore. Well not nothing entirely, but unless it had to do directly with the health, safety, and well being of my precious babes then it really was not a big deal.
We get muddy and deal with it.
We spill mustard ALL over the carpet and deal with it.
We dump out full containers of baby powder and baby lotion, break mommy's sun glasses (on accident) and eat an almost entirely whole pie while mommy is in the shower.
And I simply choose not to let it get to me. I mean realistically I live with a 3 year old; these things are gonna happen, no need to get upset and let it ruin my day!
I love my kids more than anything and messing up is part of life. I like to think they will learn many valuable lessons in life by well... spilling milk...
So don't cry over it!
*However if it is a brand new, 6 dollar gallon of organic milk... can I at least shed a small tear?
Mandy this is so true....

I think whoever said not to cry over spilled milk obviously never pumped milk.
ReplyDeleteTina~ Hey!
ReplyDeleteI entered your contest! And I am not convinced I need to have a little baby girl so I can spend all of my hubby's paychecks at her store!! Seriously cutest things ever! Tho your daughter makes seriously cute stuff too!! I would gladly spend my hubby's paycheck at her store if she had one! Hehe
and Jessica yes I completely agree with ya on that one... the first time I feed the little one rice cereal I mixed it with about 5oz of pumped milk, he took one bite and screamed his little head off and down the drain it went! I defiantly wanted to cry!
This is a cool post and oh so true. It took me a while to really live like that but I think the older you get the smarter you (hopefully) become. Now, I have learned how to laugh at a lot of things in life. Great attitude! It will safe your sanity :)
ReplyDeleteSo true!! The pie comment cracked me up. I might cry a little over the pie, though. Don't mess with momma's dessert!
