So I had an "aha" moment recently. Like I have mentioned before, I love Tangled and while listening to the song "I have a Dream" I asked Spencer what his dream was. He didn't really give me an answer, probably because he is 2 1/2 years old and his ideal day starts and end with toys and the park. But it got me thinking...what is my dream?
I have always dreamed of being a mom. Even as a little girl, when someone would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I didn't give the answer people expected like a teacher or singer or somehting...I would reply "a mom". So my "aha" moment came as I realized that at the age of 25, I am living my dream.
I feel like I sometimes get lost down in the trenches of motherhood and forget I am living my dream. As there is a seemingly never ending pile of work and chores to be done, I stay so busy that I don't stop to play with Spencer or I am quick to put Raya down after nursing. Maybe it is because it was Mother's day last week, or maybe it is because Raya is 2 months old and on a bit of a schedule, or maybe it is because Spencer seems less tantrumie, but whatever the reason....I have really been enjoying my stay-at-home mom job.
I guess you have to go through some harder days to really enjoy the good ones. It use to take me all day to just unload the dishwasher and do one load of laundry with two kids, but now I get a few things done in the morning...including a shower! I try get my work done early and then take the day as it comes, making sure I take time to enjoy my life....since I am lving my dream!!
