Life - Period is always a learning curve.
I would love to get mine to stop 'curving' but I don't see that happening any time soon.
Life w/ an almost 3yr old and 12mo old is always twisting and winding, it never stops. Before I know it, its the end of the day and I'm trying to remember what we did for the last 12hrs.
Having little ones is constant work, and constant re figuring of how to do things. Rethinking of who you are and what your role is in this ongoing place your in.
I've been in a slump for a little while. I'm tired, and I'm worn out. I've come to just realize that this is just how life is right now. I hope it won't be like this forever, I hope that as they get older it will get a little easier, and the night time wakings will become less and less, and the tantrums will become easier to deal w/ and talk through. I'm holding my breath that this is the case.
I was encouraged when my SIL come to visit w/ her two girls - who are 2 yrs apart like our are, but a little older - and she seemed to be relaxed. She is a single mom who's has had a bit of a rocky past few years. But she's pulled through w/ the help of family and friends shes doing a great job! So if she can do it and be at peace and her girls are 'well adjusted' then I've got this in the bag - right?!
I was also encouraged when I attended a woman's thing at our church. One of the pastors on staff, his wife talked and I always love hearing her and what she has to share. But I was also reminded that these years - the ones that I'm in right now w/ small children - are so important. Shaping their faith and showing them how to live is vital at this age. Reading the bible, how to act, and treat others are things that are taught, not traits we are born w/.
This learning curve of teaching my own children how to live has been challenging. I don't know how I'm responsible for two young children, or how I'm suppose to teach them when I feel so unqualified. This is a HUGE job! And I'm put in charge of teaching them all these great things? Half this stuff I'm still learning how to do, but I'm still expected to teach them?
No Pressure . . . Just another learning curve.
Whats your learning Curve? How are you dealing w/ it, and growing from it?
