I have become HER

OK, since many of you only look at my blog to see pictures of my precious babies..which I can not blame you a bit-I did the two previous posts with pictures but this one will be strictly me "talking" so you can skip on over..ha ha!
Well, it is official..I have become "that girl" the girl I thought I would never become..the one who can not talk about anything but her kids, the one who shares sleep, poop, eating stories with her friends who truly could not care less. I have become the girl who loves Baby Einstein, who dances around like an idiot to music with my kids, who can not get home quick enough to steal an extra kiss, the one who swells up with pride every time one of my babies learns something new, the one who loves to watch my children's faces when they discover something new, the one who ADORES big slobbery kisses from my boys, the one who will do anything to see those sweet smiles and hear those adorable laughs, the one who wakes up smiling-with only an hour of sleep because my ears have never heard a sweeter sound than my children cooing in the mornings, the one who gets so excited when we add a new fruit/vegetable into our menu, the one who used to tell all my mommy friends that they really needed to take time for themselves and is now eating those words because my greatest time is spent being as a mommy, all the other stuff just does not seem to matter, the one who tries to "go green" more and be more conscience of our environment because this is the only planet my children have to live on, the one who realizes how quickly time passes-ENJOY-this is all we get, no second chance at this life, the one who is a shameless fool all in the name of her children, the one who falls more hopelessly in love with her husband every time she watches him with their children, the one who does not take one second with them for granted and who never stops saying thank you to the GREAT ALMIGHTY for allowing me to raise these two sweet miracles, the one who lays these two angels down at night and wants to hold on to them for the rest of their lives but now knows that loving them this much means raising them to be kind, independent, loving men who will one day depart from me and daddy and leave their beautiful, one of a kind mark on this world-and because I love them more than the air I breathe, part of my heart will be missing but will know I am doing the best thing for them by letting them go and that has become my FIRST priority in all that I do and say.....well, I have become her..I have become MOMMY...and may I say, there is not a sweeter, more pleasing, more joy filled job than being mommy to Brennon and Cayden. There is nothing on this earth I would rather be. This is no doubt what I was intended and created to be....THAT GIRL!!!!! Thank you for listening! In the middle of typing this, I sat here watching my boys and just cried! Enjoy life..live it to the fullest!
Love you,
Angie

Ok, so I'm at work, tearing up and can't stop. I want to hold and squeeze my sweet little Lucy! I agree with you completely, you said it perfectly. I LOVE being a Mama, there is NOTHING better.

Love,
Lisa
