Yeah. Not me.
You know how many moms can come up with countless activities to do with their kids at every age?
Me… not so much.
You know how some moms are so put together, and never leave the house without hair combed and some makeup?
Forget it. I'm lucky if my hair looks okay in day 3 of a braid.
You know how some moms freak out when they're away from their kids for longer than fifteen minutes?
I don't get to do this, but it sounds wonderful to be away from the house for longer than the 30 minutes to an hour it takes to go to the grocery store. And I probably wouldn't think about my daughter for the entire hour!! (Okay, maybe once, because I do love her!)
You know how some moms plan out EVERYTHING? Naps at 8, 11, and 2, bed at 6:30, play date from 9-10:30, lunch at noon, and park from 3-4:30, etc.
Waaaay not me. Pajamas till 11? sounds great! What do you want for dinner? Cereal? Okay!
But you know what I do care about?
Making sure she loves books.
Swinging on the swing when we do go to a park.
Looking at the plants in our yard (almost daily-even in the humidity).
Going Mama Bear on any mosquitoes (and other creatures) that come near.
Snuggling when she isn't feeling great.
Talking and repeating sounds back.
Getting her to giggle when I tickle her.
Practicing walking.
Kissing and cuddling away the boo boos.
All I really care about is loving my little girl and raising her to the best of my ability, and loving my husband like the handsome stud he is. ;)
They are my world, and all I truly, deeply care about.
(And I also really like to sneak in art during nap times. ;) But that's just my hobby.)
