I have an affair with my coffee! I do! Once everyone is out of the house....Rob is off to work, Aiden is at school...and Miss Natalie takes her morning nap...my coffee and me we sit together, and we write...we clean...man...I enjoy my coffee! And, all I wanted today was a warm cup of coffee! It's now 11:09 am and I'm writing you from my very messy house with my coffee (that I've heated up in the microwave at least 5 times since 6:50 am) and that has sat on my messy kitchen counter while Natalie and I went to the dentist. Humph...I never realized what a luxury a warm cup o' coffee is!!!
This morning was a blessing to me...rushed...messy...crazy busy...but, my sister had sent me a message that honestly made me cry a bit. We have a goofy relationship and I answered her question yesterday by telling her something I loved about her...I was in a hurry, and sent her a very honest response, but quick...I told her "the way you make people feel warm and cozy and loved," and "your pretty". Then, I moved on to my next task, and while I gave my response to her thought and ensured to tell her something I really did love about her, she gave her answer to me so much more thought....it was a paragraph of why she loved me. So, as I was in the floor changing my daughters diaper I read her response and teared up. That's what true love is, being able to tell others why you love them so much. That meant so much to me. I guess we beat ourselves down so much sometimes as Mom's...we are never enough in our own eyes, that we forget to others we are so valuable...there is so much that others love about us. That's a really big deal. Cold coffee and all, I'm loved.
Natalie had her first dental appointment today, and she did absolutely f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c! I am so proud of the little Miss, and the dentist said everything looks wonderful...but, we are teething with a vengeance. (duh! I wanted to say...I'm with her 24//7) :-)
This "mom business" is hard...its rewarding...but, it's hard...it just is...I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love them so very much and one day I will look back and wish they were this size forever.
Have a wonderful day!
