So as I sit here, in peace and quiet for the first time all day (its 10pm) I am reflecting...(with a Beer of course)
5 years ago, if you asked me what I wanted to do with my life...I would have said, I want to get married, have kids and be a stay at home Mom. Everyone laughed at me...and said people don't do that anymore, you need to figure out what kind of career you want...etc. Well here I am, Married, 2 kids and a stay at home Mom...
I have slowly gotten here, and let me tell you it is a HARD job, Nothing like I Imagined in my 25 year old mind... I pictured...baking perfect cookies with the kids, followed by a Margarita with my Mom friends while our kids played. (ha ha) True story is, I don't even get a shower in most days.
AND I WOULDN'T CHANGE IT FOR THE WORLD
Today Kylie was such a good helper with her brother and is so sweet to him, I cant believe how cute it is
As I drove Thomas to his Doctors apt, and Kylie sat in the back seat singing her favorite song on the radio, I started crying.... Happy tears...I said here I am...A Stay at Home Mom...to two BEAUTIFUL,HEALTHY KIDS! The rest of the day was a blur, of crying, tantrums (from me and the kids) wiping butts, preparing meals, feedings,baths, etc. This is my Job, this is the job that I have always wanted...and before I know it, these babies are going to have a family of their own , and not need me anymore, so I Will soak it all in....and escape for Girls nights out monthly :)
I am so LUCKY!
