Motherhood

This morning I woke to hear my children talking to each other in their room. I looked at the clock and it was 7:30am my mind immediately went back five years ago when I could sleep as long as I wanted to. It was a fleeting pleasant memory. I then got up and began my day with my children. Even though I now survive on 5 hours of sleep a night, I would not change being a mother for anything. I cannot believe how much joy they bring into my life. I marvel at all they learn and can do. Although there are still some days when I wish I could sleep until 10am....Honestly I think that most mothers miss those days too every once in a while.

Oh goodness, I don't know what I'll do when I have two kids. Now I can SOMETIMES get away with an extra hour of sleep, but usually not. I guess it's good for me.

Is it crazy that I can't wait for the time that I will only get 5 hours of sleep? I am blog hopper and found your blog that way. Now you can find ours. We miss you over here.
