I decided to take Jill's challenge. I did a "self" portrait. The theme this week is putting your best foot forward. Everyone can probably tell that those cute little feet do not belong to me. My feet are little but not that small. Those cute little feet belong to my girl, Kira. I decided to post a picture of her feet because my goal of putting my best foot forward has to do with my kids. Lately we've been struggling, both of the kids are teething, Lou is super busy with school he's hardly home when the kids are up and that is really effecting Kira. Kira has been more moody lately and sad she cries sometimes saying "I miss my Daddy" Now anyone who knows Kira in the least bit knows that she is the sweetest most easy going little girl around. The last month she still has been sweet but has obviously been effected by her teething and her Daddy being gone. I have not responded how I probably should have. I don't know why I tend to get in a personal slump when the kids are struggling with something. I want to change this about myself, my kids and my husband need me to be strong when are family is faced with a challenge. I want to be the type of mom and wife that is admired. My goal is to be positive through the rest of the semester, just taking it day by day. I know this is a personal trial that I need to prove myself, and I want to live up to the challenge.

Your "self portrait" very cute. Love those little feet! I bet it is hard not to get down when your kids are feeling down, but I know you'll grow from it and just be an even more amazing mom. Let me know if I can help in anyway. Also, Love that Kira is into creating with you! What a fun activity.
Thinking of you this week. Love you!

I just love little kids feet! I have dealt with this for the last 5 years or so. Milo is never around or awake (he has worked graveyard while attending school all this time) when the kids are. I can 'feel' this post as I live it daily.
The last 3 sentences of this post are great and so true. Day by day and semester by semester is how we make it through too. Not a whole degree at a time, that would be way too daunting. Wow, I got wordy here. Sorry about that. Just know you are not alone, I wish I would have started blogging long ago to get it all out. Hang in there!!
That freaked me out when I first saw this picture because I thought they were your feet! You're super tiny, but not that tiny. This was a cute way to interpret the theme and I think it's great that you're focusing on improving in this area.
