It Just Hit Me!

I just realized why I often get frustrated with my mommy roll. As I was folding laundry this morning my husband was replacing our 300 year old back door. (My husband is wonderfully handy, he actually renovated our entire old farm house before children). Then WHAM it hit me! My job is like replacing the back door every day three times a day. I do laundry, clean the house, cook meals, but it never ends. If I could just finish something and never have to do it again that would be so rewarding. Back to my laundry!

I now know I am REALLY a mom!

The other night we went out to dinner with the 3 kids for the first time since our baby girl came. Things I learned!

#1 My boys are getting so big (Evan now 2 and potty trained, Trey is 3 and acts like he is 10)

#2 I don't have to stress (When you let go and stop trying to control everything I think everyone relaxes not just you)

#3 Enjoy and live in the moment (Hearing the giggles, listen to their stories, and just enjoying them exactly the way they are makes everyone happy!)

#4 I also learned I am definitely a mom!

As we were driving home from a fun family night out Evan says to me "Here Mommy", so without thinking I reach my hand to the back seat and as he places something in my hand he says, " I got that bogger all by myself". Soooo Gross!!

Another Exciting Day

I'm kidding....Just another sink full of dishes, laundry everywhere, diapers to change. I wonder often if there are moms out there that truly enjoy the mundane tasks that we have to do everyday, all day. I dream of the day that I can have a maid that just cleans up behind me and the rest of my family. Why is it that when we become a mom we loose so much of who we are by taking care of everyone else? Why is it that men get to continue there lives everyday as it was before? Why do I love my kids so much it hurts and in the same moment think dear Lord I can't take another minute of my life? It makes me feel so guilty to be frustrated by my little world because I know things could be much worse, but I am determined to make life better! I want to learn to enjoy the mundane daily life that is mine and I will not rest until I find the secret and share it with every mom that is just like me!
