One month has almost passed since my last post. Ugghh, I hate this, I certainly don't want this blog (and our still unpublished family website) to end up like my other unfinished projects taking up prime space in our bedroom (in this case, in cyberspace). But being a mommy throws you a lot of curveballs. A lot of people think that being a stay-at-home mom (SAHM) is easy. Ha! Try doing it yourselves and you'll see how difficult and challenging it is. And you can throw in the most difficult job in the world and still it will not have the same impact. If you fail as a SAHM, then your child is doomed forever. Nah, just kidding- but not really. Not only it is difficult and very challenging, but I always get this nagging feeling to be always at my best, and to give my kids my very best, because they deserve nothing less. You don't doom them forever if you fail or make mistakes, but there's always a chance that it can affect them in a way you didn't imagine.
Yes, it does have a lot of pitfalls but it comes with a lot of gratification. For me, the little moments are the ones that count the most. Whenever my Jacob plants a wet one on my cheek and gives me a big squeeze and a hug, and whenever my little cuddly Joshua leans on me to try to wake me up in the mornings. These are the moments that count.
Getting so sentimental about being a mother? So in the moment.
Happy Mothers' Day to all the mothers out there!
So while we are at it, Happy Mothers' Day, Mommy! I love you and I have always appreciated everything that you've done to all of us. Now I am in the same shoes, I can never imagine how difficult it must have been for you, but you have always made it look so easy.
