I haven’t written a blog in a while and I’ve got a lot going on in general but I thought I would take a minute for myself tonight and write something since there is nothing on TV and I promised myself I would spend 20 minutes tonight on ME.
My life seems so crazy sometimes and I’m not exaggerating. People always tell me that it’s like this for all moms but I’m not so sure. At my house there is always some kind of home repair going on and it’s usually a DIY. Also, my house is a constant mess. I can literally clean one room and go to the next but by the time I finish with that one the first room is messy again. It never fails that the kids never want to paint until the paint is all put away nicely and the table is shiny and clean. Our dog ate our garden. She also ate a couple of blankets and some folded t shirts. She also likes being in the rain and jumping on an exercise trampoline. We are never on time in the mornings rather it be because Avery’s shoes don’t match exactly perfect and she is having a dilemma with it, or Maizy decides two minutes before we walk out the door that she needs a braid like Elsa or the world is going to end, we are always late. At night there is always a problem with my cooking. “I can’t eat purple lettuce” or “My beans touched my rice so I can’t eat it.” Then there is bedtime and suddenly someone needs their favorite pair of shorts washed or someone has a headache. By the time I roll into bed at night I’m so exhausted that I never move all night long.
There is soccer practice and dance class and basketball games to attend. I know every eight count to every dance that Avery is supposed to know and we work on it every night. I know every word to Maizy’s favorite book and I do the voices just like she likes, I check Kenna’s homework and leave her notes because I know how hard she is on herself, I have to DVR every show I like, and for some reason our TV NEVER deviates from MLB network. There have been so many times that I have wished for a reality show to film us, like weekend before last when our bathroom was in shambles trying to fix a leak and Zach went to Lowe’s (in the sunshine) to buy Drywall and came out (in the rain) and couldn’t fit the drywall in the car so it got wet and he abandoned it in the Lowe’s parking lot. Or the other day when Maizy got hot and I caught her literally trying to fit herself in our refrigerator. These things make me crazy. However, at night when they are all asleep and I go in to check on them, I just stand and stare and it feels like my heart skips beats because it can’t take the pressure of loving something so much. I can’t describe the love I have for them but if you are a mom, you know what I’m talking about. It’s all worth it. The craziness. I wouldn’t change a thing…...except maybe the tv channel. If your life feels as crazy as mine and you have days when pulling your hair out is the only option, you're not alone. People tell me I'll miss these days when my kids are grown up. We'll see. As for now, I'm just going to embrace the crazy because it's all you can do, or cry.......there's always that. #momlove
