I just booked a round-trip flight to Denver, Colorado for my sister and I for this summer. I am elated to say the least. My life is a constant whirlwind of crazy chaos and it feels exhausting just thinking about all my responsibilities. They never escape me. My mind is in constant " what do I need to get done" mode. I have forgotten what it feels like to allow myself to think about myself guilt free. As a mother these days you are expected of so much more. Yet that comes with the job and once you have kids you are compelled to always put them first which is an amazing gift but also an amazing burden to your heart. You forever give up your own selfish needs because the needs of your kids consume who you are now. No matter where I am I am always seeing my kids in the back of my mind, it is a humbling and eye opening experience bringing a child into this crazy, beautiful mess of a world we live in.
Fundraisers, before and after school care, summer care, sports sign ups, yearbook orders, parent teacher conferences, birthday parties, homework, doctor, dentist, flushots, picky eaters, messy house, bath nights, book reading, milk spilling, dirty socks, math mountains, story problems, stretch your thinking, spelling words, video games, sleepovers, playdates, bedtimes, eat your vitamins, milk money, school pictures, lunch money, eat your vegetables, be organic, go to church, tie your shoes and why do you only have one winter glove?
I can't wait to see Colorado and view the mountains. Something to look forward to. Life is short, why not enjoy it as much as possible!
I can't believe I am going to Denver, Colorado! Please God let everything go smooth for this trip because I am so excited! Did I mention we are seeing Sarah Mclockin in concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre? Amazing!!!
