Alright, I am not GREAT at this blog thing... 8 months since my last post. Not a good record! But, here I am trying again...

This week the kids went back to school, and like most moms out there I did the happy dance when the bus pulled away that first day. What I did not expect was the HUGE let down I felt about 12 noon. Yes, I know this will take everyone who knows me well by surprise. But it is, in fact, true! I missed the chaos, the constant "MOMMY" and yes, even the constant fighting. While I do in fact have PLENTY to keep me busy...my husband and I own our own business (that is all I need to say to those who are self-employeed), I missed the girls.

I have to say, that this perplexed me a little. Me? Miss the craziness that makes me so crazy??? Then it came to me...

FINALLY, I have become the mother I am supposed to be.
Notice I did not say the mother I always wanted to be, or the mother my mom was, and certainly not the mother I think my 3 great girls really deserve.
But in fact, I am the mother I am supposed to be. I am the mother of 3 girls who love to get dirty and track it into my clean house, who play outside and leave the door open all the time, who would rather swim than read a "stinky" book in the summer, who talk back, who are sassy, who fight constantly, who drive me nuts daily and who I LOVE more than I could ever imagine. You see, I am the best mother I can be... and I miss them every minute they are away!

Motherhood is a journey that never ends and changes everyday...embrace it and enjoy every moment.
