Stress

Women stress over the silliest of things. Here it is, two weeks before my baby turns 1 and I am stressing about the amount of people that we invited to his party and where we are going to put them. I should be celebrating in the fact that we have a happy, healthy baby and we are about to celebrate the first year of his life. No one really cares about the fact that there will be standing room only in our house. No one cares that the house might have some of Boomer dog's hair lingering in the air. No one cares that Colby tried to patch paint in the house and I can see streaks on the walls. No one cares that there are a gazillion flies outside and that they sometimes fly inside. Everyone does care that we get to celebrate and be together for Raif's 1st birthday. So, I am too. I am going to try and stop obsessing over these little things, although I will still try and see to it that they get taken care of. I am going to try and revel in the moment and enjoy the day. Breath. Relax. Enjoy. Words I am going to try and live by in the coming months.
