Patience is a virtue...

A virtue I don't have. My next project is looking at becoming a life coach. The soap making didn't work out...too many rules and reglations, the making other stuff didn't work out.....I'm too lazy. My latest diet hasn't worked out and a cheese straw is now my favourite breakfast. 

No word of a lie the past few weeks gave been hectic, far too much drama and I'm getting pretty snappy. So my new thing is patience.

Scarlett seems to have shredded the last bit I have, 75% of the time she is a good girl, like when she's actually asleep but she is back chatting, kicking and turning from a sweet innocent little girl into a terror, a terror who is far too aware of the world.

Yesterday I put her to bed, I heard her groan a few minutes later so I popped my head around her door she said "PUSH!" and she pulled a baby out from under her dress and said "LOOK BABY!"

I have no idea where she got that from, it has scared me quite a bit! A couple of hours earlier we were putting on face masks next minute she's having a baby. She is being locked up away from boys at ten!

So I googled patience www.lifehack.org has come up. To get patience i have to.....

Breathe ~ Easy peasy.

Let go ~ I have, that's why I feel like I'm losing my mind. I need to grab onto something!

Loosen up ~ That's why I'm a young mum.

Chew slowly ~ Oh I savour every morsel of chocolate.

Enjoy the journey ~ I should book a holiday!

Look at the big picture ~ This isn't forever. One day she will leave home.

Stop demanding perfecrion for yourself ~ I don't have to...I'm already perfect.

Practice patience every day ~ When I wake up every morning I will look in the mirror and say

"I am patient"

Then I will burst out laughing and get on with my day.
