That wee babe that we once held, has become a man, apparently while my eyes were closed. And I don't have any babies anymore, though at 2 S still snuggles in like a baby occasionally and I revel in those chubby arms wrapped around my neck. The blur of passing days are the reason that I don't usually make E go back to bed when he crawls in with me at 4 am. I try to enjoy his wee boy smell and his warmth and his snuggles. Because at 9, J doesn't do that anymore, and though he loves to cuddle occasionally, those days are fewer now. I am even trying to enjoy the school moments and not get to bent out of shape when he complains about school, because now I don't have R at home anymore, someone else is his teacher and he prefers it. We can't make time stay still. We can't go back. We have to smile with the memories and go forward with our children who are racing to grow up. And take the moments we are given as the wondrous gifts that they are. Love you Mom. Remember to snuggle your grandkids as often as possible, they are growing just as quickly as we did!Mighty Morphin' Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03244716672872427829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150665525839435488.post-77199434126141231092013-01-09T13:21:40.611-07:002013-01-09T13:21:40.611-07:00How envious I am of you daughter/wonder woman,I to...How envious I am of you daughter/wonder woman,I too held sick babies in the middle of the night, bathing feverish little ones to bring down a temp! Walked on piles of laundry to get to the washer, knowing full well this would be an all week activity! Yes the generations of motherhood don't really change all that much, there was the man-cold back then when the "king" retired to his chambers to suffer in not-so-silent repose. Why am I envious....I think you know that although 24 hours of a sick household seems like an eternity....babies don't last! Looking back......my arms ache for the snot-nosed cuddles,the fat cheeks resting trustingly on my shoulder as we rocked long into the night. The endless batches of cookies that evaporated, the soaking wet boots on the register (yes they did stink)and the last thing at night...God Bless Mommy and Daddy,Nana and Poppa,Gramma and Grampa, all my sisters, please make it be a nice day tomorrow and please make me have good dreams or no dreams..........remember?!!! Surely it was just a blink ago....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04139469764123424683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150665525839435488.post-27494710210648677392013-01-09T13:10:12.087-07:002013-01-09T13:10:12.087-07:00Yaaaay for venting!Yaaaay for venting!Lainey-Paneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07722187515774744428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150665525839435488.post-51663211201230462002013-01-02T08:30:13.532-07:002013-01-02T08:30:13.532-07:00Happy New Year Mama

Everybody learned something. It is the love that shines through...I once had one of those days filled with missteps and I was hiding in my room when my two oldest brought me a glass of water and some Kleenex. They told me to blow my nose and take a drink and that I would feel better. They had somewhere learned compassion and empathy and that perfection is not the goal. I figured maybe I had taught them that and then I cried tears of gratitude.<br />So you know what I did? I blew my nose, I took a drink and by golly I felt better.<br />YOu are doing a great job Mama. They are loved and they know it...xox,, EEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236233879828469590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150665525839435488.post-1128189252549646262012-08-17T17:50:20.635-06:002012-08-17T17:50:20.635-06:00I so get this - and where you're coming from. ...I so get this - and where you're coming from.

I have realized that I end up making things for gifts for other loved ones, but my kids and husband miss out. I am aiming to make them each something for Valentine's day. First was a wee amigurumi ninja for my 8 year old:)<br />I have tried the project 365 thing numerous times and never make it much past February. This year I have already missed two days, so I took the photo that I meant to take, the next day=D Whatever it takes!<br />Happy New year to you and yours!

You're back in this space!!!!
First off...YAY! You're back in this space!!!!<br /><br />First off - Congratulations! I see by Baby Sunshine's arrival, there was a lot going on since we talked last! <br /><br />Secondly - that is SO SO great that your son is going on a short term missions trip. I was 16 just about 17 when I spent 2 weeks in Nicaragua with Samaritan's Purse. It was an incredible experience. Challenged and changed me in so many ways...and not just because I met my future husband on the trip (don't worry, we waited 5 more years to marry) ;)<br /><br /> It gave me a heart for those that were lacking basic essentials, but also opened my eyes that on the other end of the spectrum there is such joy in realizing the false promises of materialism. I went on to spend 5 months in Africa with YWAM and it too changed me even more. I hope God speaks to him in a new way while he's gone - I'm excited for him!Prairie Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383116242097899456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150665525839435488.post-39355821529149841232011-08-01T16:55:47.587-06:002011-08-01T16:55:47.587-06:00Going solo for a long time can really wear you dow...Going solo for a long time can really wear you down.
