Great lesson on marriage and just getting along in life. Sometimes it’s better to just let it go right away. I’m always thankful when I manage to do that instead of letting it ruin the day.

still haven’t watched the voice. I think it’s Aguilera that’s stopping me.

I really want to watch The Voice but I haven’t been able to catch it yet!
I never imagined I’d be doing what I’m doing…but I love it more than anything.

In reply to thatgirlblogs. I was a little resistant because of Aguilera. I definitely have some bias against her, but she's fine and now I'm used to her.

I haven’t watched that show. I don’t even know why I’m watching Idol. It’s so hard to see them go! I am glad you have the opportunity to be a stay at home mother. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day.

Oh, I love feeling happy and positive. So happy to hear this is how YOU feel!

I love this “fragmented” post. I am so behind on my reader….

Hubby and I are trying to focus on being positive and recognizing the positive intent of the other (instead of assuming one of us is trying to be an ass, in other words). It can get difficult sometimes.

I have been watching the Voice and I am surprised how much I love it. I don’t really care for American Idol but I love the emotions behind the stories of the people who are auditioning and I love it when they do really well but they don’t LOOK like superstars. Know what I mean?

Also…about wanting what you never thought you would? Bingo. I never wanted to be a stay at home mom. I can say that I still do not. However, I never want to go back to a mental health agency and working 12 months out of the year. Even private practice sounds like too much to manage. When working with hateful, ignorant people every day though? It makes me reconsider what I want.

Best,

Tina

Love the post! I need to learn how to be mad, realize this is crazy, then move on! I have to check out that new show.

Sometimes all you need is a little fresh air/space to let the happy in. Being right is not always healthy for a marriage- good choice on your part. {you win! 😉 lol! I’m too competitive.}

BTW, I love the new plug-in!

It’s much easier to turn off the grumbling once you realize that the only person that’s really paying the price is yourself.

Great attitude – – about your mom and life. And I haven’t been watching, but I like the idea that the judges don’t get to see the contestants. I think that makes it much more about true talent. My ugly mug would have a much better shot on a show like that.

“One of the things I’m focusing on is being happy instead of right”.

Actually you were happy and right. You took the high road and apologized.

Isn’t it a sense of freedom to know you are happy? I find myself choosing to be happy and that is a great feeling. Good for you.

Hey back again because I just read a clip in the biz section – related to your SAHM thing – a consumer website calculated the replacement cost of a mom (ok we all know mom is NOT replaceable) anyway the cost for the various tasks – child care, planning, tutoring, etc. totals out at $61,436 – time for a raise?

I grew up with a mother who worked full time. I never thought about being a SAHM when I was growing up, but I am one today and I wouldn’t trade it for anyhting. I used to work from home on the computer, formatting resumes and getting paid well. That job ended and I now babysit 2 kids the same age as my 2 and I love it!
That is awesome you are so happy and such! Wish I could be, but maybe it is the weather today, it is yucky and overcast!

I think a lot of us have lives that have turned out way different than we thought they would when we were young. Finding what makes us happy in our life as it is puts us in a very good place.

I love the line, “Talent has no expiration date.” That is so true, and I’m loving the show, too!

Inteligence in bed I love it! I loved that video also…we have been watching Joel Olsteen and I’m not sure I’m all that religious but that man is one heck of a motivational speaker. I always feel like I can do anything after watching him…and I can:)

I love your attitude and need to work on my own..happy days and great moods are far more fun. I watched The Voice this week and loved it! I wish I could have stayed at home when my daughter was little, but I also realized I was not a get on the ground play with your kid kind of mom either so daycare was so much better for her socially…at least that is what I convinced myself all those years ago. Happy Mother’s day!!!
