| Dear friend,
Please tell me i'm not the only one who finds trying to get our son to school on time more painful than having teeth pulled out.
I mean...
Even when I try extra hard and have everything ready the night before... we can still manage to run late.
It could be because: - Corey just won't get out of bed (it can take up to half an hour)
- I get caught up with the baby
- I forgot to put Corey's clothes in the wash, on the line or in the dryer
- Sometimes I'm just plain disorganised
- Maybe I overslept
- We can't find Corey's socks, shoes, hat, tie, belt...
- Corey is sometimes too busy playing with his little brother to get ready
- I've run out of lunch box supplies and am trying to find stuff to out in
- Or, just various other silly little issues that cause us delay
Whatever the problem, our mornings often leave me feeling frustrated and frazzled.
But the thing I try to remember every morning is to make sure no matter how I feel that I do my best to summon a smile, as well as a wave and say, "have a great day." Because I know how much my attitude can affect Corey's attitude too.
And then once Corey is off to school, I can always reset my mindset and start fresh again.
What about you? What's your big "pulling teeth" issue and how do you manage your mindset around it? |
