Let's be honest and get real here. I did not want to get out of bed this morning. I did not want to go for a run. Left to myself I probably would have rather drowned myself in chocolate while watching reruns of some terrible show. But, that's not what happened today.
If you are wondering why I did not give in and call it a day before the day even started, it's because I have this adorably cute mini accountability partner.
He needed to get out of bed and eat breakfast so I got out of bed and ate breakfast (and no it did not include chocolate). He loves to go outside, so we went for a run. And while I was at it I figured I might as well take a shower so he doesn't have to snuggle up to my stinky sweat all day. And since I got clean I figured I might as well get ready for work and go to work since my sweet little boy does need diapers and wipes and such.
So as I end the day today I am going to admit that it wasn't necessarily my best day and I wasn't supermom today but it went a whole lot better than it could have. I actually made healthy choices and did things that I was supposed to do (I even loaded the dishwasher!) because of a little boy, my little boy.
There are many things about the last dayish that I do not want to do again, but as I get ready to go to bed I do feel an immense amount of gratitude for my son. God, in His divine wisdom, saw it fit that I have a dear sweet little boy as my son for many reasons. Today, one reason, was so that I could be a functioning person and not completely loose it. When I need to have someone around he was there to snuggle and play and read books and do music time. Earlier I wrote about how I am the perfect mom for him, and today I gained a better realization that he is the perfect son for me.
I am so grateful.

That is truly an awesome thing to realize that in the divine plan of famikies, one reason to have children come into families is to help the parents grow.
That comment was not me.
