...My Life
Once again I didn't wake up at 6:30 so I could take a shower and get ready before E woke up. (That has been my goal for 3 solid weeks and I have failed miserably each and every day.) So, to get me energized for the day I decided to play some music. Song of choice, Dynamite by Taio Cruz. As I fed E his oatmeal I started busing out some dance moves and was soon joined by Michael.
E looked up at us wide eyed and I could almost hear him thinking... "Wow you guys are my parents? You're crazy!"
As Michael left to finish getting ready for work it hit me, I LOVE MY LIFE.
Even if I don't get dressed until 9:30.
Even if my floors are constantly cluttered with baby toys, cheerios and Tupperware.
(E's favorite toys).
Even if I have forgotten what it's like to have an adult converstation that doesn't revolve around babies, diapers, feedings etc.
Even if I sometimes crave girl time just so I can get out and have some fun.
Even if I don't get enough sleep because my 10 month old has been teething since Easter!
There may be a lot of things about motherhood that aren't picture perfect, but there are so many more things that are even better than picture perfect. Yes it's tough, and I can only imagine how much harder it will become as we add more children to our family. And how much harder still when they become teenagers. But I wouldn't trade this sacred responsibility for anything in the world.
I love being a mother, I love my life.
