Memorial Day Weekend 2009
Sometimes I sit and stare at my kids while they're all together,
and then I imagine that its my first time meeting them.
Sometimes I trip myself out when I really sit and ponder that
I am the mother of four children.
Sometimes its good to pretend that maybe I won't be around tomorrow.
You have a talent.
ReplyDeleteYou say so much important stuff in so few words and lead my mind on a wonderful wandering path.
I haven't thought about it quite like that before -- like I am meeting my own children for the first time. But I know what you are talking about where you look at your kids and then can't believe that you actually have four (or, in my case, three). It is a thing to marvel.
But I loved your last line. I think all of us would make important changes if we really knew that. Which prompts you to try and remember that and try to make them today.
I love reading your blog.
There are times when I'd be afraid to meet my kids for the first time...I might be wondering if their mother teaches them anything ;) But that's just when they're crazy and loud. Most of the time, I think I'd like what I saw if I were meeting them for the first time.
