I get up far too early, I pack lunch, I do dishes (not too often 'cause the hubby usually does them), I cook, I clean, I wipe faces and butts, I brush teeth, I go to bed exausted and then get up even more exausted!
I have no time for myself, no time for "fun", no time for anything, or anyone it seems. There are no hour long bubble baths with candles in our home, there are no quiet romantic dinners. There is rarely enough time to take a deep breath, let alone time to study, make a budget or plan meals!
I cant tell you the last time I fixed my hair in something other than a pony tail, I havent worn makeup in heavens only knows how long. Theres no need to, theres no one to impress.
But when I wake up in the morning and see these faces
I remember what it is all about. Love, trust, cuddles, sticky jelly, reading, learning, laughing, teaching, kisses! I love kisses!
The love that I get (and give!) is awesome! It gives me the warm fuzzies! I makes me want to get up before the sun (even if I do want to cut the cord on my alarm!) so that I can make the nutella sandwich that Abagael so loving requested the night before. I love to have Phillip say momma in his most sleepy voice and then squeel when he actually sees me come into their room to retreive him.
How can you tire of seeing this everyday?
