Between the recent purchase of our new home, the renovations and the intense process of moving, every single hot button I have has been pushed. I stress about the new bills, I ache from head to toe from renovating and now moving, and am so tired from the nonstop of it all, that even my yawns are yawing! Still, I make sure that Ollie sees a happy mommy, three meals a day with snacks, a bath and has a room that he can enjoy playing and sleeping in, because at the end of the day, that is what matters most to me.

His room was the only room completely finished when we moved it. |
Sorry, back to having super powers...
Since becoming a mother, I've noticed how my patience and ability to press on and stay positive has increased exponentially. But it was this move and the tests that came along with it, that made me realize just how much stronger I am. It's no longer a question of "if" I can do it, it's just "do it!" Full Stop. If something needs to be done, I do it. If it sucks, so be it, I do it. If I have to work into the wee hours of morning to finish it, so be it, I do it. And what's more, I haven't had many pity parties, but rather moments of "Hell yes, I am on it, I can do it!" I am celebrating my new found super powers. I am proud that when I think I cannot go on, I do.
I feel good. I feel empowered. I feel like an amazing mother. I fell like I can do anything I put my mind too. It's a wonderful feeling, and I know I have becoming a parent to thank for that.
Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go move a mountain... of clothes, toys and other assorted crap into their place in our new home.

True. Somehow growing a little person inside you gives you the super power of keep on going when you think you can't. Congrats on your move! Wishing you many great new memories in your new home.
You're so awesome. The floor in that room looks AMAZING.
I do think being a mom makes you somewhat super human. We may be tired, but that kid still needs to eat. Only a mom can seem to find a way to work that out. Your yawns have yawns! I'm pretty tired today too! Hope you get a nice rest this weekend!
