Often in my life things go wrong. Like everyone else I struggle when stress is high and things go unplanned.

Recently, struggling to get my 4 kids to the pool after work hrs…jus for a Lil fun. The older kids had swim lessons at 5 and i figured I can get some energy out. I set out the towels and swimsuits, got them from daycare…got them dress/ready.

Then….

They closed the pool, there was low attendance after the thunderstorm this morning

Ok…now what????

4 kids suited up….

We haul to our local drive thru and get ice cream!!!

Things don’t work out perfectly and often times not well at all

And….

We work it, we problem solve…we make it work!

Now I’ll be ok honest there were still tears…especially from the 2 yr old. Those are the moments I find my dark thoughts working and I can balance it out. The power of finding that balance that AND….

We did something we acknowledged the disappointment and worked through it.

Ice cream doesn’t solve everything…but it also doesn’t hurt anything..

Till the next crisis….

Be well
