"I'm a Zen Mommy right now."

My kids translate that as --I can only do one thing at a time and if I add one more thing my head may explode!  Or I'll forget something or someone.  Or I will just end up doing a job that is not my best.  My practice is to give 100% in everything I do.

When I am a Zen Mommy I am much better to meet the needs of my kids and the never-ending demands of the day.

Honestly, it doesn't come as first nature.  I need to be intentional and work at doing just one thing at a time.  I grew up multitasking.  Now that I'm "mature" I understand that it is best if I do just one thing.

I choose love. 

My kitchen is a cookie making disaster. 

One lost wallet 

One broken iPod. 

Another bowl of exploding oatmeal.

In all of this, and more, I choose love. 

I'm in a good place.  I know that joy and sorrow go hand in hand.
