a reset day

Up at 6:30 this morning for food/potty rounds with the pups. All I can think is, motherhood is gonna be tough titties.

I’ve spent the quiet hours uploading photos and relaxing by the fan. In that time I’ve reached a very content mood. I think caring for the puppies got me thinking, because no matter how hard you try to control them, there’s really no use- you’ll expend precious time and energy trying to call them or bend them to your will, when really it’s much easier to let them do their thing, and play on their needs- food, for instance. No need to ‘lure’ them inside with excited gestures, just put the food on the floor and they come immediately and willingly. And all the rest of the time, just sit back and take a chill pill, because they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do, and your head will hurt if you try to domineer it all.

This is a recurring theme in my blogging, I’ve noticed. Maybe some day I’ll get it down without driving myself nuts first.

Be a watchful observer of your own life. Go with the flow. Take a deep breath and do what you need to do to be happy, and never feel guilty for it.

I dub today a Reset day.
