a change in the way i do things
well, it’s only taken me three years but after two kids, no job, and gaining about 70 pounds, i have resigned myself to being a stay at home mom and housewife.
and while there is a weight off my shoulders admitting that, i take no pleasure in it.
i love my kids, we have a great time together. i have worked my ass off this last week trying to reconnect with boo and make sure she feels loved and attended to the way the buns does. she’d be acting out and with the sleep issues, we were constantly fighting. things are better now and in a moment of moments, she wiggled herself under the buns’ toy bar, hugged him and told him she loved him and “i love being your big sister”. the alaskan poet stood witness. made me proud to be her mom.
and i need to embrace more of that.

You are such a good, loving, caring mom. Oh yeah. And SIL. :)
