Fun to be a Momma

I know that I take it for granted. The little things that I get to do everyday. I know that most working moms pray every morning that they didn't have to leave their babies in daycare. And I always knew that when I had children that I would be a Mommy.

When I got pregnant with Scotty I was not working. I was going to school full time. And I ended up having to stop that because I was on bedrest for six months.

Out he came and some people expected that I would go back to school or at the least get a part or even full time job to help Tony with the bills and what not. But we had already talked about it. Sacrafice.

We stopped eating out. We stopped ordering appetizers. No more Martenelli Apple Juice time to buy the store brand. No more movie dates once a week, how about a cruise by Blockbuster.

And it is so worth it. I love being home with them. I love cuddling on the couch in our jammies after Tony leaves for work. I love sitting down for snack time with them. I love reading stories before nap. I love the giggles and laughter. I even love kissing the owies because I am the one who is supposed to kiss them, not a teacher...the Mommy.

I used to teach preschool, don't get me wrong. I am totally down with working women and all of that jazz. So don't hate. But for me and my family we sacraficed so that I could be here. And I would not change that for the world.

So today was perfection. Sheryl called me to tell me that she was going to watch the kiddos so I could go to Costco alone! WOW!!?? Really!? No one has ever ever done that? EVER! I mean just called up to volunteer to watch all three children...and the dog!? She is a saint!

So while I was getting ready this happened

It was so funny. She is such a stinker. 6 eggs gone. But her curiosity satisfied.
While I was cleaning that up she poured half a bottle of liquid soap into the toilet bowl. Thank GOD it didn't foam up!

I did my shopping and was even able to get some Christmas shopping done while at COSTCO and I picked up In n Out for Tony and some work buddies and Sheryl and I of course.

And then Sheryl and I sat here and talked until 3:30 or so. We can talk about absolutely nothing and that is why I love her so much! And we always giggle together. Plus our babies get to play! See...


And now I am sitting on the couch thinking about finishing up dinner while my Ariana is walking around like this


Isn't it fun!? To have my babies home and safe. To be able to let David walk around with socks on his hands and a Batman mask on. To let Scotty watch cartoons to his content. Perfection...
