Life is good

Yesterday I celebrated another birthday.   Another year older.   Hopefully,  another year wiser.  This is the second birthday I have been able to share with the little boy who calls me mama.  We spent the day playing trucks, legos, blocks, telephone and running from one end of the house to the other all...day...long...chasing the dog who was running from the wild monkey boy who kept throwing his trucks at him.  I had a chai in my hand ( although it was cold and barely gone) and a smile on my face.  There  isn't any other way I would have wanted to spend my 33rd birthday.   These were the moments I dreamt about only a few short years ago.  There was a time when I wondered if these moments would ever happen. 
I look at motherhood through different eyes then some.  Our journey to parenthood was a struggle to say the least.  I cherish these moments.  Yes I still complain about the middle of the night wake up calls from a crabby, teething little boy.  I still will dread the loads of laundry and cleaning up the spills on the floor and the finger prints everywhere, and don't even get me started on the toy tornado that ripped havoc through the living room, and the temper tantrums from our little man can be brutal and exhausting for all involved!  However, I understand fully that children are a gift from God.  They are borrowed to us from God, for how long, we don't know.  So I will cherish this gift and soak up every second I get to be his mommy.  He is a wonderful present.  Better then any material item I could ever receive.   I thank God for my rock star husband.  Because of him I can be the stay at home mom I always wanted to be and experience every milestone. 
  God is great.  My husband rocks!  Life.Is.Good!
