Life Moves Too Fast

I have to admit, that with work and pregnancy I have not always been the nicest, most patient mother and/or wife. I have been pretty grumpy some days, and I can see myself doing it, but I can't seem to stop. I have been so impatient and not understanding. Afterwards, I feel so horrible for my breakdown, moody moment, or whatever has happened.
Lately, we have been having a lot of issues with Noah and his bedtime habits, which are completely our fault. We have not set up a good routine, and it has been hard and a fight. Mix being tired in with the others, and I have been very ornery with Noah. He seemed to want only me during his hardest moments, and that was hard for me because most of the time I was trying to work as well. I started realizing that he isn't going to want me forever, in fact there is going to come a time when he probably wants little to do with me. ;) I have seen the evidence of life moving too fast, so I have really tried to change my attitude, and I really feel like it has helped immensely. Instead of feeling frustrated and annoyed, I have changed my attitude to feel blessed and extremely lucky. Noah really is a sweetheart and a really good boy, but of course he has his moments as all toddlers do as they are feeling out their independence. Instead of feeling annoyed that he wants to lay in bed with me or wants me to lay in his room, I have changed my attitude to really cherish that time with him..because like I've mentioned, life moves too fast. This part of it is not going to last very long, and I want to take advantage of every moment, making it a positive one, and hopefully turning into a cherished memory. I love Noah so much, and I would not trade him for the world. There is nowhere in life I'd rather be, and nothing I'd rather be experiencing. Yes being a mother is a lot of sacrifice and work, but it's more than worth it, and I am truly lucky to be experiencing it..the good times and the "bad".

I have just been thinking about this lately, and then read something a friend posted the other day, and it just reaffirmed all the things I have been thinking about, so I just wanted to do a little post to say how lucky, blessed, thankful, etc., I am to be a mother and be where I'm at in life. I hope that I can continuously remind myself that life does move too fast, and what feels monumental right now, I will probably be laughing at in a few months so I just need to breath and live each moment truly to the fullest, hopefully leading to less regrets and less moody breakdowns. ;)

I think that reminding myself this follows along the lines of letting those we love know it, and nurturing our relationships, being caring and compassionate too, because we just never know when it will be our last day on earth, or when it will be theirs. Life moves too fast and it is also too short for some.

Anyway, just some rambling thoughts HaHa.
