It's a new day!

I have had so many monumental events in the past 10 years. I got married, had two kids , bought a home, got two dogs....it just seems like so much has happened! I have changed so much over these years. I no longer am the same person I was 10 years ago, and it's for the better. I love my kids more than I could ever grasp the concept of. They bring meaning to my life in a way that nothing else ever has. Every day has a greater purpose, a new meaning and life is no longer for or about me....it's all about them. Every emotion I feel is so much greater than ever before. When my oldest gets hurt I feel panic like none other. When I hold my 7 month old as he sleeps I feel peace like none other. When I see my son climb up the jungle gym faster than the other kids, I feel proud like none other. When I see my parents play with my children I feel fortunate like none other. Dumb things like the fact that my oldest still can't pronounce "L" at age 3 1/2 brings concern like none other "Could he have a speech problem?" I ask myself....and I ask the Dr.....and his preschool teacher....and finally a speech therapist that tells me that's normal and then that brings relief like none other AHHHHHH....he's OK!! I like so many other mom's think at the end of the day how I could have done so many things better, taught my son more, been more patient, fed him a healthier meal, gave him more milk , held the baby more, played with the baby more BLAH BLAH BLAH. I remind myself, I am human, imperfect and that tomorrow is a new day. I pray for patience and ask God to help me be the mother he wants me to be. I know I will never be perfect but like no other time in life I want to be perfect because the worst place to see your mistakes is in your own children. This blog will be about my growth as a mother, wife and child of God. I have grown a lot but I am thankful that tomorrow is a new day and I get a fresh start.
