Trying to come up with a meaningful blog at 10:00 pm (after an exhausting day both emotionally and physically) seems ridiculous and highly unlikely. So instead, I'm opting to give a short and sweet reason as to why I decided to start writing.
As you can see, I chose a scrapbook background for my blog. I found this appropriate in that I'm writing about my new life as a wipe their butt, receiver of boogers, sippy-cup spills on a newly washed sofa, never leaving the house on time kind of mommy.
A scrapbook is a snippet of life in picture form. This journey of parenthood seems like a continual scrapbook. Life is this crazy balance filled of messy yet beautiful experiences all wrapped into one. I never want to forget the small nuggets of gold I often pass for mere stones as time progresses. I always think I'm going to remember "the little things," but always seem to fail within the realm of best intentions.
Taking on this role as a stay-at-home mom has been the most wearisome yet amazing path I could have ever imagined. Like most moms, my days are filled with highs and lows, loneliness and frustrations, a heart so full of joy it seems ready to explode. I often worry that my mixed emotions scattered throughout my day mean that I'm an unstable/unsuitable mom. But what I'm beginning to find out, and most importantly...what I'm learning to accept is that THIS ALL IS NORMAL! I'm not a mommy freak-of-nature!!! Whooohoooo! :)
And the greatest most wonderful part of all this....Jesus holding my hand through it all!
I know I said this would be short and sweet. It really just turned out long and lame.
With that said, I'm excited to start this whole blogging thingy :)
