Why do mothers always have the inclination to do things late at night? I know, I know, because it is the only time we are not going to get unexpectedly interrupted.. But we should be sleeping right?? Oh well, I guess thats just the way it will be forever.
Humm... I don't have anything special to say today, other than I love being a mom! It has to be one of the craziest journeys Ive taken so far! And I've had my share of crazy adventures! Everyone warned me when I got married just how hard marriage would be... I went into it bracing myself for the worst... And for the first 2 1/2 - 3 years I was pleasantly surprised, I really wondered what was so hard about it :) Then I had my first born! Those sweet little bundles NEED to have a warning sticker on them... "Warning: Things may not be as they appear due to sleep deprivation, stress, and being over protective!" LOL, they really do take your whole world and dump it Topsy Turvy. Any yet, I challenge you to find even 1 mom who would trade their topsy turvy life for the order that they had before. Oh yes, we would all like to be able to fold laundry without it being unfolded for us while our back is turned, but that sweet face that looks up at you and says"I folding laundry wif you mummy, I folding laundry wif you because I love you!" That's all it takes, unfold all my laundry you wonderful, messy, topsy turvy, miracle!
Yup, I love being a mom! Sneaking into my boys rooms every night is my favourite time. (that is when my oldest trouble maker doesn't have his light on and a mischievous smile on his face being caught in the act of disobeying) There is nothing more Delicious than seeing your baby sleeping in complete peace! I always say it is God's grace that makes them so cute when they are sleeping, to erase all the hard moments during the day. I never understood every mothers fascination with the book "I'll Love You Forever". To be perfectly honest, I thought it was a bit cheesy before I had kids. Now it is among my favourites, that and "Are You My Mother". Matt and I can recite that one from memory, and we have too.. Anyway, back to "I'll Love You Forever" I think we all have our own personal version of this book in our real life. I will move them back to their pillows (I have very active sleeping children, they are all over those beds), sweep the hair from their eyes, kiss them good night (again), pray for them one more time and then and only then am I able to go and fall asleep. (with one ear open)...
Anyway, that is enough late night rambling for on night.. It has been nice thinking about how great it is to have my sweet boys! I am so blessed and it was nice to remind myself of that :)
