I started this blog with the intention of writing every day and sharing my life, as a mommy “on the go”. Once I was heavily pregnant with my daughter and taking care of my son, who was still one at the time, not only did I not have the time, or energy to write, when I DID have time, I did not feel like I was “on the go”, and therefore had nothing to write about. I was wrong, there was always things I could have written about, but I just wasn’t feeling so inspired. Then I realized that people still write on their blogs, even when they dont “feel” like they have something to say….because eventually, they DO end up having something to say, and it sometimes inspires others.
Even though, I still am not “on the go” as much as I once was, there is still a lot going on in my life, and ive decided to stop self sabotaging, and go ahead and write even when I dont feel like it, because for one, its therapeutic, and it might also help someone else through what they are going through. Which leads to why I wanted to write today.
I am SO incredibly thankful that my husband is supportive and does what he can to be able to afford me the opportunity to stay at home with our children. There are so many things that I get to see and experience on a daily basis that most moms dont get to, because they have to be at work. I get to live more life, and have more fun than most moms because I stay home with my kids, and that is the best thing that I could be doing for them, and me. It is so easy to become cynical with life, but when you are around children all day, there are the times where they get on your nerves, but mostly its an amazing experience to watch them grown, learn, and in my case, watch them interact with their siblings.
Earlier, my heart warmed because of my two little munchkins. My daughter had been sleeping, and to get our (mine and my sons) attention, she let out a high pitched scream. As he always does, her brother dashed to the room and jumped on the bed to see what was going on with her, and as soon as she saw him, her eyes lit up, and she squealed with delight, and reached for him, and he gave her a big kiss, hugged her, and proceeded to jump all over my bed. Its moments like these that I am so glad that I am home with them to be able to see things like this. I could easily send them to daycare, and no one would blink, or think twice about it, but to see these two have this time together is absolutely priceless. I look forward to seeing how their relationship grows and develops over the years, big brother is already super protective of his little sister. Im just grateful that I get to watch it all develop right before my eyes.
I love you munchkins!
