Isn't it funny how no matter what state we find ourselves in, there is always the temptation to be "wishing" for something else, something different. In south Texas we don't exactly experience the harshness of winter, but we also don't slip into our swim suits and prance about in the sprinkler in January! My little one however on this day, was wishing for the lazy days of summer and her favorite summer toy, the sprinkler.
I suffer from the same temptation. As I sit here this morning all dressed up in my "big girl clothes" I so vividly remember wishing as a stay at home mom just one week ago, for an excuse to have to dress in something other than my mom uniform of jeans and a t-shirt, to feel needed by society and valued for the hard days work I would put in day after day.
Today I am overwhelmed with the feeling of wanting to spend the day with my little pumpkins, to put on my jeans and t-shirt and read the same book again, and again, and again, and again to my girl. To cook a gourmet meal of mac and cheese to wild applause of a 21 month and four year old connoisseur of pasta from a box.
I am struggling to enjoy the moment I am in right now, and wish to be nowhere else but here. But it's time to put on my "big girl" shoes and head out that door, wish me luck today friends!
