Adabelle's Pocket Full of Cash

Being a mom...

Sometimes I wish I could just sit in peace and drink my coffee in the mornings. I often wonder what that would be like. Today, for example, I went for a run, came home and made my coffee. I sit down and immediately I am pounced upon by Kennedy. Then Riley comes and jumps up. Whit walks over and asks for me to download him a new game. Then our sweet new puppy comes up and decides my lap is the place to be. Did I mention I am in the recliner that rocks? Try to drink coffee in this story!! Anyone see the problem? After my moment of annoyance passes, I look around at my precious family. Whit had moved to the couch. K is still sitting with me and I have two snoring dogs in my lap. Somehow I have finished a cup of glorious coffee and I realize how precious this moment really is. Time flies. We all say it when we look at our kids, but it is important to remember that in the small moments. I know all too soon my lap will be empty. (Well I might still have the dogs, but you get the point) The life of a mom is not an easy road. It is full of demands, very little time alone, very little sitting down, lots of cooking, cleaning, stopping fights, fixing lunches, doing laundry, bathing kids, and on and on... I am not asking for a gold star for any of it. I don't want recognition. I want to remember how precious each moment is. I want to remind myself that this is what I always dreamed of. It takes one single look into the eyes of my children to make me remember. They are miracles. I get to raise them and watch them grow. They are the greatest gift I have ever recieved. So in the days of craziness, I hope that I am reminded of the truly important things in life and not the craziness. 

I think I will go make another cup of coffee now. :)
