Simply

After many times of "losing it" I have begun a journey to get back to life in simple terms...
so over the next few weeks I'm going to stop getting stressed or worried about things I can't control. I'll stop feeling guilty about the things and people I can't change. I'll prioritize the priorities and stick to the basics. I'll get better at saying no. And I'll make the most of this time...

Three weeks

Ansley is upstairs, Evie is in her room. Both girls are down...if only for a moment. I'm listening to healer and it's the song that has been a reminder where to keep my focus during this...
This is definately a hard season and it's more than i thought it would be-though i'm not sure why i thought that.
Evie has been breaking my heart lately with how upset she gets at night screaming "momma, i anna old you" (hold you). Ansley cries and cries-she has such a loud cry. She cries when her diaper is dirty (evie never noticed-still doesn't), hungry, or when she has been sitting by herself. The time frame was 5 minutes-now it's longer. She still doesn't fall asleep on her own during the day without rocking or being held. exhausting. makes me feel bad.
But for my thankful moment: seeing evie run-it's just so cute how her hair bounces when she runs or when she brought every bear, baby, and stuffed dog to the bathroom this morning to praise Jesus while the music played, or when she ran to get another bear and had one hand raised praising jesus.
She talks constantly and it's super precious when she tries to explain something that happened using main words "momma, car, beep beep!"
I know this will get better. I know my patience will grow and also that I will continue to have discernment on what to do...that's what i know.
