- Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

Sick Mom=Talking and Bonding with Mr. D
Yesterday I didn't feel all that great. Fighting the flu and all. My oldest was laying on the couch with a slight fever and we read a book together. After we were done we started talking about my childhood and some of my fears as a mother. We talked for over a 1/2 hour and I even shed a couple of happy tears. Imagine that. At one point in the conversation I told him that I would be very sad if there was ever a time in his life when he didn't want to be in our home because he didn't feel loved. He looked at me with his big brown eyes and said, "Mom, I feel really loved right now." Talk about melt your heart... Do to my nature I'm not one that lounges around much on the couch just to read and talk to my kids. Don't get me wrong, I spend time with them, but not like this. I usually look at a sickness has a huge inconvenience but I can honestly say it was wonderful to sit back, relax, and bond with my son.

ReplyDeleteFYI conversion is up.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's so sweet! I get moments like that more often now that my oldest understands that I have emotions and feelings too. It really is a blessing to get to raise kids. Amazing that Heavenly Father trusts us so much with such special spirits!
