So... these aren't my nails. But today I painted my nails for the first time in... in.... well, I have no idea how long! I painted them, and I added a topcoat. And they are this color!
The topcoat was supposed to dry them in 30 seconds. To be safe, I waited a good 10 minutes before I did anything. And within 11 minutes my thumb on one hand and a finger on the other were wrecked. So I redid the whole job? No way. Just kind of filled in the bumps, tried the topcoat again, and from a distance and if I keep moving my fingers quickly you can't tell there are some mussed ones!
As soon as I realized my paint job was wrecked, I thought: "Perfect. Why do I bother?" Then I remembered what I tell my hubby: "I just need to expect everything to get broken. Then if something doesnt break its a bonus!" With three little boys 5 and under, this is a perspective I need!! Maybe my nails aren't perfect, but they are bright and cheery!
Overall, I'm the laid back type. And I feel blessed that I would rather play or snuggle my boys than have a perfect house. Though in the past few years somehow I passed "laid back" and have landed in CHAOS (can't have anyone over syndrome.) But that's a blog for another day.
Today I am just being grateful for being reminded of the things that really matter. For being reminded of the season of life I'm in. One day, I can do my nails and have white carpet and breakables - but I won't have these 3 little buddies running around.
So I will choose to ENJOY TODAY!
Hope you do too!!!
Love,
Pam
