mom time




My posts have been a little short and sweet these past few times .... Life sure is busy. Can't even begin to imagine going back to work this fall and trying to get done what I can barely accomplish now ... amazing when I think about how much I used to work and do before .... Sad that I missed out on so much at home.
But it's all good...
Jakob and Sophia are on their southern adventure until Wednesday ...
I have been missing them and staying very busy with school shopping..arranging sport schedules...keeping house and all that comes with it. It is hard to find moments like these where I can sit and relax and blog a bit ...catch up on reading my favorite blogs and actually eat a little something. Someday ... I will muster the energy to start walking or running or attempting to get some sort of exercise which includes fresh air:)
But for now I am very content to be a Home body momma ...
I am the Taxi..the part time baker...the keeper of the peace and order.
I listen..beg and plead for moments of silence and attempt to keep everyone happy and busy as much as humanly possible. Most of the time my sentences include some form of baby talk or high pitched sound ...I am working on that as there are times when I get an odd look or raised eyebrow from the person I am attempting to communicate with ...
I have come to accept that sleep is pretty much out of the question and continue to eat the same three things every day so as not to upset the little prince's sensitive belly...
I have enjoyed my time at home ... it has been a wonderful summer so far just being a mom every moment of every day :)
These are very special moments ... times I am sure that I will one day look back on and be thankful that I had so much time with the kids ..Not saying that every day is perfect or without incident ... but that is OK , life is good.

Take Inventory of the best things in your life..
Hang on to moments like these. These moments become memories and stories that we will tell our children and answer questions like " Remember when... ?" or " What did we do ...?" Moments only happen once ...so enjoy it and breath it in while you can. Tomorrow is always another day ... but what it brings we only learn through experiencing it then.
Being able to answer those curious questions are the best parts ... lets just hope the mind is still intact;)

Moments Today ..

If you are anything like me .. or have a household like mine you would know that no day begins quietly .. smoothly or without incident.
As a mom of three .. Not to mention being a part time parent to my significant other ... you have to be prepared for some excitment in your day.
We were forced into life this morning at 6:12 am by Fisher. He is not one of the two legged children .. but the wildest of the two four legged ones. He was up .. and something had him perplexed.. He was barking .. howling and bouncing his kennel all over my artroom floor.
" are you kidding me " I was thinking .. hair straight up ..heart pounding and all of a sudden realizing I was desperate need of a drink of water. So down the stairs i went to see what this wild animal could be so upset about. I checked the door first .. no one there. I went in to the room and found him frantly barking at .. himself .. yes , I apparently forgot to replace one of my large mirrors when I was moving things around.
I stood there him looking at me then his reflection and back at me .... Yes Fisher .. This is a very embarressing moment for you . He was now wagging his tail all chipper and happy to see me .. Great , I'm up.
I let him outside and turn around to find the three two legged wonders staring at me ..
" So .. mom , What's for Breakfast ?"
