I remember waiting and waiting till Sammy could fit into size 3 months clothing. He was such a tiny babe. I couldn’t wait for him to grow big enough for dress him up. <\/p>\n

I couldn’t wait for us to have the perfect house. That looked like a house on property with a pool, lots of property and all the toys. The boys would never be bored.<\/p>\n

I can’t wait till they are all out of car seats, or can do their own laundry. How great it will be for them to cook and clean after themselves.<\/p>\n

We went and saw Indiana Jones today to Tyler’s birthday. There was a line that I wish I could remember but paraphrasing badly it said… there is never the such a thing as the perfect time. <\/p>\n

Often we wait for the perfect time to have children, or go on vacation or can’t wait for that perfect moment. But will it be perfect? <\/p>\n

When I am just doing laundry for 2 people or myself, will it be perfect? I am pretty sure it will suck. I am sure I will miss cooking for a busload of boys. I can’t imagine missing the ridiculous amount of laundry I do now… but I am sure I will. It means they will be gone.<\/p>\n

I am trying to enjoy now. Not 2 years from now when going to Disney will be perfect timing because Josh will be 5 years old.
I would rather go to the beach tomorrow and enjoy what is now. <\/p>\n

I have realized that I don’t want my life to be controlled by projects… such as right now it feels like life will be great after the move. I know it will but… I don’t want to miss this summer with the boys either. I don’t want to skip the 2 months of memories we can make only to be fixated on the future. The future isn’t promised to us, only today. <\/p>\n

Sanj and I were talking about the endless nights where there is not enough room for us on our KING SIZE bed. Yet I know that is only a moment in the big picture. I know we need to be there for our children when they need us now. Soon they won’t be coming to us so willing. <\/p>\n

I need to learn to focus and appreciate today. Did I do the best I could today? Was I a good mom today? Or at least an OK mom? What kind of wife was I? <\/p>\n

I am only promised today. Today is the perfect time, isn’t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
