Ok, so my blog has officially gotten dumped!!! I feel like facebook has taken over my spare time. Wait a minute, i have no spare time! It has taken over my semi-spare time/multi tasking/down time. Quick catch up- I am so very busy doing what we do best, being a mom, being a wife, being social, and of coarse running my business. I ran 15 errands Monday before nap time, my kids were such troopers, but i knew what was to come, go home in time for nap, then back to best buy at 4:00. We dropped our van off and i pushed the crappy little umbrella stroller around back to walk to Tuesday mornings with my kidos and all i could think of was, i am hot, dripping sweat, we are walking in an almost vacant parking lot because "I" have to run run run on my day off. This isn't fair, this isn't what i want to do on my days off, this is NOT quality time with my kids!!!!! Then my sweet little angel girl, Mariana said to me "Man this is a beautiful day to take a nice walk isn't it Mom?" mmmm i had to breath, look at her, and realize that just being together, was enough for her. It hit me hard, cause all i wanted to do was be frustrated, and be miserable, i had the choice at that moment to be miserable or enjoy the walk in the empty parking lot waiting and waiting for something that should have been fixed 2 times before that to be fixed. Well I did, i stopped pushing the stroller, knelt down to her and said "Mariana, this is one of the best walks ever, thank you for sharing it with me, and for being my little girl" I am so grateful for how God has chosen just the right children for me. I needed her to put me in my place. So here is to all you, run ragged, under appreciated moms- your kids want you, not necessarily the activities. I am humbled daily by trying to do what I think is the right thing. I love that I can meet new children, families and people everyday, I thank you all for being who you are to me. You all mean more than you know. I thought it would be appropriate to show some of my latest favorite pics of another working mom. wether you are working at home, from home, or from a job, God bless ya for doing it and raising kids!- Oh, ps, I am starting a new work our boot camp in the morning 6am it was the only time i could fit something in, we will see how this fits into the agenda!
