I cherish those little extra moments of peace and time with the kids so much. We, the three of us, just don't get enough down time together. I wish I knew how to remedy this, but I don't. Instead, I try to cherish when I can slide in 15 minutes of play in the morning, or an extra book or snuggle. This morning, I was able to squeeze in a little reading in bed time with the kids before going to see the doctors. It was so nice. While I was readying Snow White (Ellie snuggled up next to me on my left and Max rolling around on my right), Ellie says to me, "I feel like I'm in a dream Mommy."
At that moment, I tried to stop and just take it in, even if just for a second.
These things make me wonder have we chosen to raise the kids with the right priorities. Should I really be working? I sure hope so. Who knows, as the life we choose is the one we lead. I hope that my children understand and appreciate the choices I've had to make. I hope they realize that I do love them so much and tried to make the best choices. Choices is the key word, because I know they are, even though it doesn't feel like it much on the day to day.
