It's the season to love my babies!
Oh Livejournal, I have missed you! A friend mentioned it the other day and I said (almost out loud) OH YEAH! and had to come back to read some of my silly posts. Life was so difficult when I was 14 hehe :)
I am back to doing the stay at home mom thing and finally just within the past month I'm learning to let go of control and enjoy it. The other day I read about a mom describing the stages of life as 'seasons.' Right now it is the season to love my babies. Not to have a clean house, or to be Martha Stewart. But to hold and snuggle my babies and enjoy the very short time they are babies. There will be time to learn to knit, sew, make jewelry, and find my calling in a 'career' later. Right now those things are just not what is important.
By the way, I now have THREE kids. Leo is 5, turning 6 in January. June is 16 months, and my newest bundle Odin is 2 months. We are unsure if we want anymore, so I am soaking up every last minute of Odie's babyhood. Right now I am content and sometimes overwhelmed with three, but we are not making any final decisions yet. I am open to a change of heart. Just give me a couple years :) I'd like to enjoy life without any major changes for awhile.
Over the past 7 years, I've lived through:
-the deaths of both parents and two close uncles
-the births of 3 children
-selling my parents' house and dealing with their 10 dumpster full hoard of STUFF
-buying our first house and moving 70 miles from our hometown
-being a single mom after an ugly breakup with my son's father
-being brought back to a friend of now 13 years and marrying him
Yep, I'm ready for an uneventful few years. It's been quite the ride with a lot of lessons along the way, but I'm beat!
